Is there a kind of bread you especially like?

[Archae]

I usually buy 2 packages of hamburger buns for sandwiches.

But here in Wisconsin, (Manitowoc actually,) there's a place that makes specialty breads.

(Natural Ovens)

They used to make a potato bread, that really was good.

[Phoenix61]

1. Pumpernickel!!! It's my favorite. Makes a great sandwich.

Awesome grilled cheese. Disgusting French toast though.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

2. Soft dinner rolls for me, I guess.

Topped with garlic-butter.

But I'm not exactly adventurous when it comes to trying different foods.

I've still never ate a mollusk of any kind, for example.

[Boomerproud]

32. Yes.. Warm dinner rolls are yummy.

Sourdough and Italian are runners up.

[happybird]

3. Challah, and Sourdough from San Francisco

Also love a good cinnamon swirl bread. No raisins.

[Paladin]

33. Challah makes the best bread pudding I've ever encountered. (nt)

[Tetrachloride]

4. Oat Nut in the Wisconsin supermarkets of my previous life

or Kwik Trip croissants

[UTUSN]

5. I just *asked* about sourdough!1

[Archae]

6. Really?

Wow, great minds do think alike.

I love a good sourdough bread too.

[UTUSN]

15. Thanks! - wanted to know about nutrients, flavor - what's your take?

[rog]

21. re: nutrients

See a photo in Post #20, below. Rugbrod is a Danish sourdough rye, with lots of nuts & seeds. It may not be your cup of tea if you're thinking about 'traditional' sourdough bread, but here are the Rugbrod nutrition facts ... notably, 0% sodium!

You may get an idea of the flavor from the photo in post #20.

Here's the nutrition info.

7. Dave's (Killer) Bread

Twenty-one whole grains and seeds. USDA Organic. It's killer.

[intrepidity]

14. is that the yellow pkg?

i usually get the yellow one.

[WheelWalker]

18. It's the green pkg. The yellow is "Good Seed", which

I use to buy (and probably prefer) but my Costco hasn't been carrying the yellow. It has a thin sliced "Power Seed" which I believe is a red pkg, but I like a thicker slice. They are all "killer".

[Bristlecone]

16. Best toast ever.

[WheelWalker]

19. I couldn't agree with you more, comrade.

[Silver Gaia]

30. Yes! Dave's is my favorite, too!

I usually buy the green one, thin-sliced. I'm so glad I found this bread! Yum!

[Ron Obvious]

43. Seconded

We've been eating them since they were Mike's (I think) Killer bread.

Unlike regular supermarket bread, it does go stale if you leave it out. That's a good thing. Think about it.

[rog]

52. I tried Dave's this week ...

... 21 Grain, and their Bagels. They are great ... very tasty and really good toast, but man ... there is a lot of sugar! About a teaspoon of sugar (5 grams) in every slice. I am going to ration what I have, so as not to waste it, and I will enjoy it, but once this is gone, I think the sugar will be a deal-breaker. Too bad, 'cause it is really tasty.

I should have read the label before I pulled the trigger.

[applegrove]

8. Ancient baguette. You could get them on the streets of Paris

27 years ago.

[elias7]

29. I don't know what ancient means, but a well baked baguette is heavenly

I just ate an entire loaf the day before yesterday. Bore of turkey, bite of baguette, mix in mouth, swallow, repeat ad just before nauseum.

The only problem is 1) a good baguette is hard to find in the US, and 2) they’re only good for 1 day

[applegrove]

34. Ancient means old fashioned. They were baguettes made the

old fashioned way not the modern way and you could get them anywhere in Paris at the time.

We used to have French bread sandwiches every Saturday at the cottage growing up. Heaven.

[highplainsdem]

9. Have you ever had Swedish limpa bread?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limpa

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. I bet that I'd like it!

Last edited Sat Apr 16, 2022, 01:30 AM - Edit history (1)

I noticed that wort is added to it.

As a previous home beer brewer, I sometimes wanted to just drink the wort and not ferment it. (Others weren't nearly as appealing, depending on the barley types and how they were roasted.)

[highplainsdem]

48. I hope you'll like it if you try it (and you'll find lots of variations of the recipe).

I loved it when I could get it from a NYC bakery.

[happybird]

10. This was a great, delicious brand but now I can't find it anywhere :(

Eureka
https://www.theshelbyreport.com/2016/07/20/eureka-organic-bread-now-available-nationwide/

The Grainiac was my favorite. All of the varieties were very good.

[Walleye]

11. Currently working on a loaf of English raisin bread. Just a little cinnamon flavor in it

[Laffy Kat]

13. Good ole sourdough for me. Chewy crust and soft on the inside.

My second choice is fresh rye. Give me a loaf of bread and a tub of butter and I'm happy.

[womanofthehills]

49. It's just sourdough for me too - I bake my own

My grandkids go insane over my sourdough toasted and topped with Kerrygold Irish butter.

Once you get it down and keep your starter going, it can be super easy to make your own bread.

[Laffy Kat]

51. Yes! Irish butter!

[sakabatou]

17. Buttermilk

[rog]

20. Danish Rugbrod

Last edited Mon Apr 18, 2022, 03:08 AM - Edit history (1)

It's a sourdough (mostly) rye with lots of nuts & seeds. My all-time favorite was Bruno's Health Bread from a mom & pop Lithuanian bakery in Chicago ... 100% sourdough rye, no sugar, no shortening. Each loaf weighed 2lbs. I cried when the owners got too old to do it any more and closed without sharing their recipes.

But the rugbrod is great. I get it unsliced ... they slice it way too thin. REALLY good toasted. It's part of every morning. This is also a 2lb loaf!

[pazzyanne]

22. Village Hearth Old Fashioned Hamburger Buns,

for making most of my sandwiches.

[joshdawg]

23. Joshdawg's homemade bread,

but if that isn't available, any rye bread........makes great Reuben with pastrami, swiss cheese, saurkraut. mmmm good!

[nuxvomica]

24. Rock Hill Jewish Rye

This bread is so dense, crusty and flavorful with a buttery finish that I often eat it plain for a snack. I always buy a loaf when I get fresh-roasted turkey breast because together they make optimal turkey sandwiches. It's from a local bakery that makes other fine breads, including a cinnamon-raisin so sweet and raisin-packed it's more a dessert.

[lillypaddle]

26. Now THAT looks good

Let's see now, smothered in liverwurst and butter, or butter with sliced tomatoes. Limburger cheese, with some pickled herring on the side.

[lillypaddle]

25. My go-to every day bread of choice

is dark pumpernickel rye. For those sandwiches that just don't go on pump, I like a thin sliced whole wheat or multi grain bread. I've been eating my burgers here at home on Bays English muffins.

[Emile]

27. Grandma's homemade bread. Haven't had it in nearly 60 years!

[PJMcK]

31. A specialty bread is my favorite

Indian aloo paratha. It's a fried bread stuffed with mashed potatoes, peas and delicious spices. It's obviously just for Indian cuisine but I love it!

[japple]

35. The only decent bread I can find in my area comes from La Brea Bakery. It is sold in Kroger,

Ingles, and a few other chain grocery stores in the Southeastern US. Their Take & Bake Multigrain is my favorite.

https://www.labreabakery.com/breads/take-and-bake

Their ciabatta rolls, cranberry walnut bread, and baguettes are also good. I don't like soft, squishy, white bread.

[Wolf Frankula]

36. Winco's High End breads.

Honey oat, 5 seed and several overs.

Wolf

[jrandom421]

37. Several kinds

King's Hawaiian is the best, nothing better toasted win preserves

Sourdough and Russian dark are the go to for sandwiches

Wheat and multigrain are ok.

[Mr.Bill]

38. Another vote for sourdough.

And yes, San Francisco sourdough is different from all the others. And better. I love sourdough toast with breakfast, and most restaurants here offer that as a choice.

[bluecollar2]

39. San Francisco sourdough...n/t

[mitch96]

40. ?Does a bagel count?...nt

[DFW]

41. I live in Germany

If it didn‘t come out of the oven 36 hours ago or less, it ain‘t bread no more

[japple]

42. I completely understand. My Dad was stationed in Germany back in the late 50s early 60s.

After eating bread from German, Italian, Swiss, & French bakeries, we were completely spoiled. My favorite was the salt rolls with caraway seeds that we got in Bavaria. We made bread, butter & pickle sandwiches with those. I have never found anything anywhere that could match those rolls.

[area51]

44. Challah bread.

[targetpractice]

45. King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!

The flavor reminds me of rolls my grandmother would bake for the holidays when I was a child. Not in Hawaii, but in Delaware... But same flavor.

[Mr.Bill]

46. I recently discovered street taco sized flour tortillas

that are flavored like King's Hawaiian bread. They are great for seafood tacos. We made them with shrimp.

[Sogo]

47. Flatbread.

I spent a good amount of time during COVID isolation watching countless YouTube videos on how to make various flatbreads - chapati, pita, naan, etc. I’ve been trying recipes since then and have a couple that I’ve gotten pretty good at. I’m loving it!

[Wicked Blue]

50. Sourdough nt
