Danish Bread Loaf

Hubby has been telling me for the longest time about the Danish Bread from Four Leaves. For a few times, I couldn't get it from the outlet at Compasspoint. Apparently they only have limited quantity of  the Danish loaf for sale daily. 

Finally last weekend, hubby went out to get us coffee and some bread while I slept in. He managed to see that Four Leaves have tt Danish loaf at Compasspoint. Yes, finally..... And that is how we know that they only have limited quantity.

Actually the bread is soft and definitely delicious, considering the amount of butter used. It is so soft and fragrant that the kids have 1 1/2 slice each... But I seriously don't like the idea of hubby consuming so much butter, and not knowing what type of butter they use as well. I decided to take things into my own hands. 

I normally use this Canola Light, Cholestrol Free Margarine from Buttercup. It is also with the logo from Healthier Choice too.. Less saturated fats thus I feel more relieved. But of cos, still not a daily bake too.. First, not very healthy and secondly, the tedious process. And yes, I only managed to fold into an envelope and fold into 3s twice only... And it gets real messy, margarine oozing out.. 

So what is hubby verdict? Mine is pretty straight forward. Soft, delicious and in my view nicer than the ones he buy back from XXX..
