Occasional?
Try fresh tortillas, they work the same way. Not the precooked ones, but the raw ones you cook on a pan.
Folk Wisdom: The whiter the bread the quicker you’re dead.
I really struggle to get through bread. Even whatever the hell the McDonalds brioche is made of, I can’t always finish it.
Try making a fresh loaf at home, it’s way better. I can finish a fresh, whole wheat loaf in a sitting.
My daughter came over once & I had fresh sourdough I’d made so I offered her bread and water.
“May I offer you fresh sourdough with butter and chilled filtered water?”
Yes I don’t get tired of that. Good bread is good. So good.
Buttered toast with peanut butter. If you can get some homemade apple butter to make it a sandwich, now that’s the best thing ever.
Used to up until my early 20s, I very rarely buy plain white bread now and it’s not that common in stores here (Sweden). Obviously there’s two or three brands of basic white toast bread and some in store fresh white bread but we have tons of choices with so many different ingredients, and never any weird additives or bread that is as much bread as american cheese is cheese (seen those kinds abroad and from images and videos from the US).
My current two favourites are a wholegrain durum wheat sourdough with flaxseeds and sea salt and the other is a rye sourdough with wort, barley malt and a small amount of dark treacle (similar to molasses in taste). But I often try new kinds, even the smaller food stores here have like 30 different breads (not including stuff like burger and hot dog buns etc.)
Only when I make my own bread. Store bought bread is basically tasteless and should only be used as a medium to contain sandwich ingredients when you wre too tired/lazy/incapable of making your own.
100% this, but some fancier breads are fine from the store.
re: buttered sourdough bread: also fantastic is texas toast on a skillet - just melt the butter, let the bread soak it up on each side, then pan toast that shit. it’s glorious.
After viewing the post but before looking at the poster, I thought this was a LadyButterfly post.
One of my last memories of my father is making him toast. Then he asked for another. Then we laughed when he asked for more. We ate the whole loaf laughing.
Fresh sourdough from a bakery yes absolutely
Doesn’t every culture on earth have some sort of bread product? I would guess that is because once you have it, it is addictive.
Non salted crackers
butter on saltines as a scooping tool for chili: perfection
I did not know people did this. I’m glad I found out.
Toast is a weird thing where you take bread, which is baked, and you say “no, this needs to be baked even more! In fact I’ll buy a machine specifically for doing this!”
We’ve had one, yes, but what about second maillard reaction?
So maybe this is better pondered after a bong hit… but the point of making toast is really to expose the soft inside of the bread and crisp that up like the crust of the original bread. So, with a thick slice like Texas Toast, could you cut that toast into strips and re-toast the newly-exposed edges? What would that be called? And how many times could you do that?
At a certain point you just have croutons
I’ll buy a machine specifically for doing this
Throw the bread in a pan is so 1900.
