Anyone for a sandwich? Maybe not one made with a loaf costing a cool £15.

Admittedly you get a lot for your money but it is perhaps outside the average family’s budget.

But then it does include such delicacies as roquefort cheese and almonds, or sour cherry and chocolate or roast potato, rosemary and garlic.

They are all creations of master baker Paul Hollywood who produces the loaves from his bakery at Aylesham and lists Harrods of London among his customers.

Paul, from Wingham, moulds all his breads by hand using sourdough before adding a variety of unusual and luxury ingedients.

His Christmas bread, called apricot couronne, shaped like a crown, he claims, “could be the finest thing you taste this festive period”.

“It’s filled with cranberries, walnuts, almonds, apricots, macaroon and orange and lemon zest,” says Paul, 42.

He has appeared on television many times, including with top chef James Martin on Use Your Loaf and on Great Food Live.

As well as Harrods, Paul’s breads are stocked at Karl’s Good Food in St Peter’s Street, Canterbury, and the Goods Shed at Canterbury West Station.

•Paul generously gave us a loaf for a taste test. See this week’s Kentish Gazette for our verdict.
