Article ‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.

ReplyIt’s at a good price point for families on a tight budget and is “cleaner” but missing the mark with Canola oil . I wouldn’t be running to a supermarket for it but it’s alot better than other varieties on the market. It’s nice to see supermarkets are at least trying and listening

ReplyMost breads are dairy free anyway so I am surprised by this article. Additive free is a bonus. I always go for a grain bread nowadays and have the kids eating it too so I’ll be sticking with that. It’s always great to have variety out there though for the ones that need it.

ReplyWe bought this bread from the supermarket and it is a good price for bread which of course can indeed be expensive. Each slice is a good size and our favourite meal to create and eat with this bread is cheese toasties. The bread holds and is good to eat.

ReplyI am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

ReplyGrabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

ReplyI haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

ReplyThis is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

ReplyI cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

ReplyOh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

ReplyThis is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go

Chicken & Potato Curry in NO TIME
After chopping all the ingredients, I use the BROWN/SEAR function to cook the onion and brown the chicken slightly. Then I thew in 2 tins of diced tomatoes, ½ can of coconut milk and 4 tablespoons of a curry mix. The curry mix is a blend of different spices that my husband’s auntie put together.
I put the lid on and selected the MEAT/STEW setting for 15 minutes and ensured the steam release dial was set to “Seal”. After the 15 minutes it was done, the chicken was just perfect and potatoes were soft. I actually think I could have cooked this in less time, but the MEAT/STEW setting only went down to 15 minutes. My husband was sure, the potatoes would be hard in the middle still, but I pleasantly proved him wrong.
Dinner is served……..

Super Quick & Tasty Risotto
Because the Crosckpot is a multicooker, you cook everything in the one pot which certainty helps will less cleaning up. I used the recipe in the book, but tweaked it a little by adding some white wine and mushrooms. Whilst it didn’t exactly take 8 minutes to cook this meal all up, it did take far less time than cooking it my usually way.
Took about 5 minutes to in the brown/sear setting of the crockpot to cook some of the ingredients and then 8 minutes once the rice and stock was added and you started the pressure cooking. BUT what excited me the most was the fact that I didn’t have to graduly add the stock and stir. Gamechanger!! Once the 8 minutes was up, you aloud everything to sit for a further 5 minutes and then it was done. All up you are really looking at less than 20 minutes cooking time, to have this tasty risotto served to your plate.
My family was impressed and gobbled it up. Now what to exciting meal can I cook for my family next with my new kitchen friend, the Crockpot Express Easy Release XL Pressure Multicooker.

Crockpot Pressure Multicooker does it all
I’m also a big fan of the “set and forget” ability with this appliance. You can pop your ingredients in and turn it on pressure cooker or slow cooker, and go about your day while it does it’s job. At the end you take off the lid, give it a stir and serve up! Too easy.

Favourite kitchen appliance!
My kids wanted to get involved so we also had a go at making Chocolate Lava Puddings. Again, they were so quick and easy, and the kids were SO happy with the result.
This appliance has replaced my previous slow cooker, and is used on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend it to all my family and friends.

Essential to have in kitchen for all busy mums!
For example, I was able to cook beef stew in less than a hour compared to 6 hours in the slow cooker.
It is also convenient and because there are so many functions in the pot, you can use one pot to do all your cooking. This means less pots used and therefore less washing!
The functions are easy to use and the time you need to cook for is automatically set on the pot. You can manually change the pressure and time too!

Delicious (& Quick) Beef Stew
Ingredients:
1kg beef chuck steak
2 brown onions
2 carrots
1 tin diced tomatoes
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
2 bay leaves
1 tsp dried Rosemary
1 bunch Broccolini
Salt & Pepper
2 tsps Cornflour
Method:
Roughly chop beef, onions, carrots.
Set your crockpot to Brown/Sear, add a splash of olive oil, salt then when it’s come to heat add the beef, onion and carrots in batches and brown off.
Add the sauce, glaze, tomatoes, rosemary and bay leaves. Fill the tomato tin with water and add to the crockpot.
Seal the lid (check the seal is in place properly) then set to Meat/Stew and adjust time to 1 hour.
When it’s done, remove lid. Set to Brown/Sear.
Mix the cornflour with a little water, add and stir until the stew thickens.
If it’s not thick enough for you allow to bubble a little longer.
Just before serving, add in the chopped broccolini and cook for a couple of minutes only so it stays nice and green and crisp.
Transfer to a serving dish as the inner pot is too big and deep to take to the table.
Delish!
A couple of things … it would be amazing to have some kind of handle to pull the inner pot out. It gets hot and there’s not much to grab onto with oven mitts on.
Also someone else said this but the cord is quite short which means less flexibility of where it can sit on the bench.
Other than that, I’m getting used to it snd living the speed with which I can create recipes that would have taken hours and hours previously. Thanks a mill!
