Comments

Taste test notes
  • Appearance not as attractive because it's quite dark with flat shape but it's better on eating.
  • Looks like a hockey puck, round, brown, lots of fruit. Looks very dark when toasted. Minimal aroma. Gritty texture but fluffy and still a bit gritty when toasted.
  • Not unpleasant flavour when toasted, slathered in butter would be nice.
  • Good appearance and great texture for a gluten free bun.
