100 day food story day 7 - My famous Tower House breads

The Tower House breads.

Today I am showcasing the selection of breads that we serve here at The Tower House BnB, THOMASTOWN.

The first bread has quiet diverse ingredients , some that you might not be familiar with, but readily available  in health food sores. It a low-carb bread and it is also G/F. 

The second bread is a Guinness & Walnut Bread which is very dark but quiet delicious, especially  when paired with smoked salmon or a sharp cheddar. 

The third bread is The Tower Brown Bread and goes down a treat with our guests. On our breakfast menu I serve it toasted with Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs finished with melting Brie and chives. There are a lot of choices on our breakfast menu to tantalise the tastebuds, at last count I think I counted 10 hot dishes - ‘hard choices’.
