I love VIrginia based blends a lot, especially those with a bready flavor. Flake cut is a plus but not a necessity. Please recommend some bready Virginia blends for me to try.

Really bready to me would be Capstan Blue over everything else.
As you can tell just about everything about pipes and tobacco is "YMMV" (Your Milage May Vary) .. it's all about the person smoking it yada yada yada.
You may want to try an assortment of C&D’s bulk Virginias. Straight, mixed together, blended with some Oriental, Perique or Latakia, there’s a lot to discover there, at a reasonable price. These are the same tobaccos that they use in their blends.
A wonderful thing, but maybe not "bready" - I love its exuberant grassy hay notes, also found in SG VaPers like St James and Cabbies.
I would agree with others that Capstan Blue might fit the enquirers profile, though, a very even-handed Virginia imho.
If you can ever find any, Germain's Gold Leaf might be best - I had to let my palate adjust to its subtlety, but once I'd tuned in, very moreish indeed.
It’s not thought of as a bready blend at all but Sutliff Crumble Kake VaPer has waves of bready intensity.
Some if not all the ones mentioned above but if you can handle a bit of perique you really should try Deluxe Navy Rolls and another stellar bready tobacco is C&D's Exhausted Rooster.
