I bake my own bread once a week, I can never go back now

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Hey, at least in Europe sliced bread was never illegal

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

San Francisco Bay Area here. We agree. Fuck white bread. Sliced sourdough at the bare minimum.

[–] SirShanova@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Rosemary sourdough is tasty, too!

I'm french, I bake my own bread. It's not as good as the down street bakery but it's my own, there's something satisfying about knowing the process of how to bake such a cornerstone of the culinary world

I live in México. I fucking hate that Yankees brought their nasty comercial white bread here. We have so much more bread and tortilla options, for cheaper and much more tastier.

Baguettes, the French had it right all along

Europeans be like: 💩👎 🥖👍

What most people call "bread" is trash-food near quality. Like, even if baked on a true bakery I still prefer "normal bread" instead of "sandwich bread".

Embrace bocadillo supremacy.

I've got hungry after searching the image. :c

Where is the salted butter?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Beurre au sel de Guérande or go home! And the one with the chunky bits of salt, not smooth.

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Why not both?

American breads are shit, prove me wrong

[–] TONKAHANAH@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're not... Wrong.

Idk some American bread isn't awful but it's nothing compared to quality bread. As an American it frustrates me that I can't get much decent bread at the local grocery and would have to hunt down a specialty bakery to find anything remotely good and would likely pay x5 the price for it.

Yeah not to say its impossible to get good bread here. Raley's actually makes some good dutch and french bread. But overall our loafs are inferior.

Sliced white bread without any cheese or jam tastes like paper. Boule, even just as is, has its own good taste.

[–] SrEstegosaurio@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

This is a key factor in distinguishing good and bad bread. If you can eat bread alone then it's good.

How do you make sandwiches with European bread?

[–] AUniqueGeek@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I think you usually cut the bread into slices first.

[–] Sept@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

With le baguette you just slice half of it in 2 and it's done.

[–] chocobo13z@pawb.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slice it in half along a short side and assemble like so?

[–] Sept@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ahahahahah you made my day !

[–] Skellybones@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Cut the bread with a bread knife

[–] drubbis@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm convinced that people think the top option is what American bread is have never actually been in a supermarket

[–] midas@ymmel.nl 3 points 2 years ago

Show me your bread
