Lidl has launched its largest ever range of baking products during National Baking Week (13th - 21st October) to satisfy the growing trend amongst UK consumers for home baking.

According to MINTEL, sales of home baking products reached an estimated £550 million in 2011 due to the nostalgic feeling associated with home baking. A feeling that is reflected in the emerging popularity of programmes such as The Great British Bake-off, Masterchef and the continuing cult following of chefs such as Nigella Lawson, and the Hairy Bakers.
In answer to this public enthusiasm for innovative home cooking, Lidl has introduced 15 products to its listed range, and 12 products as limited edition items with the potential for more lines to be added.
In addition to that, Lidl is currently trialling in-store bakeries in a select number of stores across the country to ascertain if demand is there for freshly baked products in store. If the trial proves successful, the in-store bakeries will be rolled out across all 600 Lidl stores in the UK.
