Bread, bread, glorious bread

jemhh

This isn't a thread about bread being the devil or a lowdown dirty carb. It's about what breads we all love. So spill it--what are your favorite breads?

Yesterday I got a loaf of volkonbrot from a local bakery and hoo boy, do I love it. I mean, it could double as a weapon considering its density and heft, but it is de-licious. I had some this morning with softboiled eggs, and apple, and my morning coffee, and I feel as full as I normally do when I eat those things with a bowl of oats.

There is a bread made at the grocery store.. its.. called... well its called something LOL
Anyway its white bread but its a dense fluffy bread with chewy crust.. i just eat it with margarine on it.. only downside is it has no nutritional information lol.. so lord knows what im consuming for reals. I just picked a fun number lol

I also like any circular bread with spinach dip inside.

Edit: and Ciabatta bread lol... and chewy rolls...

We used to go to this restaurant when I was a teen, and I loved their bread so much. It was a plait, where one third was a dark rye, one was a multigrain and the other was a white sourdough. Breadception. So good.

My husband's home-made foccacia and ciabatta are pretty good. My favourite bread for toasted sandwiches is a dense sourdough. And on race days I go for sliced white for my PB&J sandwich. (Mmmmmm, bread...)

I made my own bread for a while but it just started sitting there so I haven't in a while... and I'm tired of scheduling my days around bread proofing lol.

There's a bakery in the area here that makes fantastic bread, but really, most of the time even baguette from the grocery store will do.

Packaged bread? I absolutely love Sarah Lee's artesano bread.

AngryViking1970

I love a nice dense pumpernickel or rye. There is something about the smell of rye toast. Mmmm...

And @Francl27, I am actually eating that Sara Lee bread right now, toasted with some Wowbutter. LOL

I love a great crusty French bread, a nice rich sourdough or this amaaaaazing giant cheesy bun that they make at my grocery store. But there are not calorie info on it so I’ve been too affied to buy the cheese buns while I’m trying to lose. If I was told they were 800 calories each I would TOTALLY believe it.

Any and all. The cheap and fresh French loaves from any supermarket bakery, those super dense, massive "bagels" with cheese and jalapeno baked on, a big old proper Warburton's crust toasted with butter if I'm home in the UK, lightly grilled pita... mmm breadbreadbread. Oh and those super easy to make Brazilian cheese breads. Yas.

Cheese topped crusty rolls fresh from the oven smothered in butter

sourdough. oh goodness. my favourite bar has a plate of sourdough with salted butter for $5 and it is my absolute favourite.

Sourdough! My aunt makes it as a gift at Christmas each year. I've been known to slice, butter, and eat the whole loaf in a day.

I don't eat much bread since I find it unsatisfying for the calories, but a couple times a year I will demolish a half a loaf of fresh sourdough. I bake bread regularly, usually heavily herbed foccaccia for my husband along with the sourdough, though.

I also adore that really soft, dark, dense rye bread with the seeds, but I've never seen it exactly the same in North America as I liked in Germany so I haven't tried it in years. I should attempt to make it, probably, but I haven't found a recipe I'm willing to trust.

Home made sour dough or a traditional french style country white loaf. That combination of a crispy, shattery crust, and a chewy and dense yet airy interior kills me.

Sourdough, baguettes, bagels, and english muffins are my loves. A lot of restaurants around here make their own white bread and it's pure heaven. Nothing like a big plate of bacon and eggs with perfectly toasted and buttered homemade bread to mop up the yolks.

Sourdough, anything crusty on the outside-tender on the inside, and CROISSANTS

Challah. Best bread ever for french toast.

Dave's White for general purpose every day bread (high calorie but oh so good).

Sp1tfire

Sourdough or beer bread!

Yeah croissants... yum.

My favorite bread ever is probably Belgian cramique though...



It's an enriched dough with a lot of half melted pearl sugar. So delicious. I make it at home occasionally, but the loaf is gone in about 15 minutes, so yeah...

I'm such a lightweight - I love those pull apart dinner rolls, lol. My SIL made these glorious pumpkin pull-apart rolls for Turkey Day, they were slightly sweet, and doughy, and with a nice slather of butter they were divine. I would eat dinner rolls at every meal and snack if I had the calories.

Rye and sourdough are my other faves, there is no sandwich that isn't better with one of those two, in my estimation.

Ah, bread is my kryptonite! Current favourite is an olive polenta bread from one of the vendors at our local farm market. So good with a bowl of soup!

oharras

Homemade sourdough, homemade pumpernickel, homemade seeded rye, homemade potato bread and my homemade yeast rolls. Beautiful bagels and bagel bread from Goldbergs, our best Jewish deli.

i've gotten on a dough-laminating kick recently, and i keep going back and doing it again because it's so cool to see it actually work.

so basically: croissants.

i do make a version where the 'butter' is actually cheese though - i slice it thin enough with my veggie peeler, and then take it from t here. so that's healthy and good for me, right?

I eat stuffing cold that's how much I LOVE BREAD

Reading this is making my mouth water... I might have a bread addiction.

The best bread I've had recently was actually at a hotel on their continental breakfast. They had this cinnamon raisin sliced bread that was just to die for. Super dense, chewy, and loaded with raisins... toasted up with some butter, it was like heaven. I've been looking in the stores for something similar with no luck! Breaks my heart...

Love ciabatta, pumpernickle and rye swirl bread, and pretzel rolls. There's a place near me that makes great olive loaf bagels. Thomas's Corn English muffins taste like cornbread with a kiss of vanilla. I almost polished of a loaf of buttered garlic bread by myself. Looking for some good naan to try. I see good pizza crust potential.

Pretzels. Fresh from the oven. No further comment necessary. :drool:

We have family movie night and make pretzels for it every once in awhile. Mmm. Yum.

The bakery I go to also makes pretzel croissants, which are fantastic.
