Have you ever tried making your own bread? It is super easy and satisfying. BTW , the honey or sugar in bread is to activate the yeast and to give the bread some flavor.

Is that an American thing? I've never had sugar or honey added to the bread I buy in European supermarkets. My current one states: 100g contains 1g sugar (0g added sugar). Only ever bread with a tiny bit of sugar was Middle Eastern flat bread, but it's the last thing on the list of few ingredients, after salt.

I don’t know if that’s a typically American style of bread. This one is not. It’s just a small amount of honey in it. It’s not a dessert bread. The bread does not have an ingredient list as I buy at bakery. It has lots of seeds on top such as sesame, poppy, or caraway. I’d like to try that flatbread you mentioned one day.
