Love the way they cant spell management...
So sorry folks.... time to ditch the bread!
I wonder if they could be persuaded to remarket them as low carb rather than high protein. An increasing number of food items mention low carb in the labelling. Would be a shame for themIt is confirmed.. got an e-mail reply from the message I sent to the UK CEO last week

Right. It is in the breadmaker, on number 11, which I had to look up as I only ever used number 3 - wholemeal large loaf! Number 11 being fast bake ie only one lot of kneading (very high gluten doughs apparently sulk if bashed about too much.)
The dough needed at least 400ml water. I used one teaspoon of dried yeast, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Report back at lunch time.
By the way, am I on the right thread? Is there a special thread for recipes??
I am not registered, but as you are, maybe a reply to the effect that if the rolls were marketed as LOW CARB rather than high protein, they would sell better. How many know they are low carb? Only the few of us on this forum I imagine.
Sorry, I was referring to the north of England. I had a quick look at the distribution of their shops. In the north of England there are 3 in the Newcastle area, 5 in the whole of Yorkshire (our largest county) and it seems the only others in the north of England are centered round Manchester and Liverpool. (6 in the whole of Scotland) They seem to be centred round cities. http://www.kevinlaurence.net/googlemaps/waitrose.html
I'm waiting with bated breath for your report, @Beagler This thread is fine as it'll most likely catch The Deprived....! but you could also put it in the Recipes section.Right.

feeling a little bereft!
Utterly devastated of South Wales...Oh, come on now. It's important to keep things in perspective. A little bereft!?

Er. Well. It came out sort of bread shaped.

Actually, appearance and flavour both good and very similar to Lidl HP BUT it is a pretty solid lump, and also had a slightly ??slimy texture - not unpleasant, just a bit odd. But it is quite edible (for a given definition of...). Did I mention that total net carbs came to 73gc? (sorry - the net carbs in the total recipe!) Will get at least 8 slices so 4.5gc per half slice. And it toasts well.
Next trial - much more water, and I think I might soak the chia seeds and the linseed for five minutes or so in half the water. Ten grams less chia, ten grams more oat bran to reduce the slipperiness. And grind the sunflower seeds & linseeds a bit more thoroughly.
Other possibilities - add in some baking powder to help aeration. Find a cheaper substitute for the soy protein, anyone know if whey protein would work as well? FYI total cost of the the loaf was about £3.50 which is too much IMHO.
No, FAR more devastated of Somerset than South Wales or Lancashire.Even more utterly devastated of Lancashire.
Ooooh er. Then I never. 'Cos I am not clever enough to photo AND download AND upload to this site.
Sorry!
And I re-calculated the price looking on-line for cheaper alternatives, and the price went down to £2.00.
Note that now I have looked up prices, whey protein is even more expensive than soy. The real pricey bit is the chia which is unfortunately irreplaceable.
(note that most of the prices are off the Tesco site, as are the analyses of ingredients' macro-nutrients.)
