Good proper bread needs but 4 ingredients which are:
FLOUR, SALT, WATER and YEAST
This is the ingredients list of Tesco Wholemeal Bread:
INGREDIENTS: Wholemeal Wheat Flour, Water, Wheat Gluten, Yeast, Rapeseed Oil, Salt, Spirit Vinegar, Soya Flour, Processing Aids (Rapeseed Oil, Calcium Sulphate, Water, Palm Oil, Enzymes, Sunflower Lecithins, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, Carnauba Wax, Linseed Oil, Glyceryl Triacetate, Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids, Acetic Acid, Tocopherol-Rich Extract), Caramelised Sugar, Emulsifier (Mono- and Di-Acetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids), Preservative (Calcium Propionate), Palm Oil, Flour Treatment Agent (Ascorbic Acid)
Frankly I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole
Note the presence of caramelised sugar, a totally unnecessary ingredient but one which will help to convince your brain that the bread is "scrummy".
