Store-baked bread... am I the only one?

Pains cuits au magasin ... suis-je le seul?

Hello everyone,
For a few years now, it's been fashionable to bake bread directly in the store. Is this a plus for the consumer?
I'm not sure. I've noticed that bread is often barely baked, especially braids and Ticino breads. When I press lightly on the bread, it sinks. The inside of the bread looks more like flour than bread. I encounter these problems at Migros, Coop and also at Aldi (only since they also bake bread in-store).
Bread sold in real bakeries doesn't have this problem.
Am I the only one who finds these store-baked loaves inedible?
Sincerely

Hi@BlackEyes

Thank you very much for your message. I'm sorry you don't like our bread. I have forwarded your feedback to the department responsible.

Best regards,

Thank you Tanja for your reply.
Yesterday I bought a loaf of Ticino bread at a Migros in Geneva. This morning, I tasted it... the bread has no consistency and is rubbery.
I wonder whether it's the bread that's soft, or whether I've got picky tastes.
I'm curious to hear other consumers' opinions.

Often, bread is delivered pre-baked or frozen, and the final baking is done in-store. So the crust separates from the crumb, or the bread is over- or undercooked. It all depends on the mood of the employee of the day, and some breads delivered ready-made are downright damp and very cold, which is not good :-(
But the big Migros stores (some, and not all, either!) have real ovens, and there it's very, very good, hot and well baked. Try the one in Plainpalais, rue de carouge ... Great

Like Blackeye, I've sometimes noticed with braids, they look cooked but when you hold it in your hand it feels like it's "breaking" as if the dough is undercooked.
But once cut, I find it very good.
It's not easy to find a perfectly baked loaf. Depending on the Migros, I find that the bread is overcooked (the crust is too dark brown for me)?
That's why I choose the bread that suits me best, in terms of baking.

There's something for every taste.

I travel a lot for work, so I've had the opportunity to buy bread just about everywhere. Unfortunately, I find the same problem with "baked" bread in the store. For me, it's often not cooked inside, even if the crust is black. Cooking speed and temperature too high, to save time?
Aldi's braided bread used to be ok, but since they've started baking bread in-store, it's also become uncooked.
At present, the braid at Denner and Lidl is still ok.

I wonder if Migros still carries out quality control on its bread ????

No, you're not alone... I also find that the breads baked in the store are either undercooked or overcooked, regardless of the brand (Migros, Coop...). I notice that often the employee who has to supervise the oven (even if it's largely automated) is busy setting up in the store, so baking times are rather haphazard ;-)

No, alas! You're not alone. Sometimes even the so-called crispy crowns are undercooked on the inside, even if the outside is brown. As for braids, they almost break when you grab them. I try as often as possible to stop at a small bakery where the quality is consistent. I'm amply rewarded for the little detour, forgoing the laziness of buying everything in one place. And I'm contributing to the survival of the small shopkeeper!

Hello BlackEyes :

I advise you to come to MMM Crissier where Jowa bakes crusty bread of very good quality. Guaranteed !

Freshly baked bread just before closing time is no longer a problem for me!
Long live waste!
