Sweet breads: top global NPD from choc bagels to 'muffish'

Japan: Caramel Muffish

Waitrose recently introduced us to frushi, now Japan is offering a new food hybrid: the Caramel Muffish (JPY117.00/£0.85). A cross between a muffin and brioche, it has a soft but crispy texture and is great to enjoy on the go.

South Africa: Cinnamon & Popcorn Flavoured Bread

You can just imagine the aroma as you toast this Cinnamon & Popcorn Flavoured Speciality Bread (ZAR14.97/£0.79), which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This unusual flavour might not work for your lunchtime cheese sandwich though…

Canada: Banana Bread

Made with coconut milk and brown rice flour, Cannelle Bakery’s Banana Bread (CAD5.99/£3.48) is a reinvented classic.This gluten-free, wholegrain bread contains real banana and has no artificial additives or preservatives.

Japan: Coconut & Chocolate Bagel

There’s no need to butter or fill this Coconut & Chocolate Bagel (JPY129.00/£0.94), which has a tasty chocolate coating. Packaged in single units, these bagels are quick and easy to grab and enjoy at any time of day.

Belgium: Nutella Wafers

It has long been a popular toast topper and sandwich filler, now Nutella has arrived in B-ready Biscuits format (€3.55/£2.97). These are baguette-shaped crunchy waffle pieces filled with the chocolate and hazelnut spread, which retail in packs of eight.

Germany: Toast with Apricot Quark

Pre-toasted and heated up in three to four minutes, this Toast Filled with Apricot Quark Filling (€1.99/£1.67) is a quick and unusual snack. This hassle-free toastie also comes in a nougat cream flavour.

Canada: Soft Pretzel Dippers

With the flavour and texture of a classic pretzel but irresistibly bite-sized, these Soft Pretzel Dippers (CAD2.99/£1.74) can be enjoyed with sweet or savoury dips. Each pack contains 16 dippers, which are best served warm.

USA: Veggie & Wholegrain Bread

Packed with protein, fibre and plenty of green veg, Romaine Veggie & Whole Grain Sliced Bread ($6.99/£5.24) contains 65 calories a slice. This vegan product is great for getting veg into children’s diets, so luckily it is ‘kids approved’.

France: No Added Sugar Wholemeal Bread

It’s hard to know what goes into a lot of shop-bought breads, but with this Wholemeal Bread with No Added Sugars (€1.59/£1.33) you can be sure of one thing. This sliced loaf contains natural sugars only and is made with French wheat flour.

Canada: Thai Baguette

It may sound French, but this Thai Baguette (CAD2.27/£1.32) is flavoured with sesame seeds and spices to give it an exotic flavour. It is baked using an old-fashioned method and would be great for creating Bánh Mì, a type of Vietnamese sandwich.
