Favorite bread?

[LuFins Dad]

We’re having a homemade beef soup tonight. I decided that I wanted some freshly baked Italian bread with butter to dip in the soup, so I ran to Wegmans. Oh man, this was a revelation. I haven’t had Italian bread in years… Karla prefers baguettes, and when I have grabbed a loaf of Italian, she turns it into garlic bread before I can blink…

This takes me back to my college days when I would just cut off a huge chunk of fresh bread and just slather it in butter. Good stuff!

What’s your favorite bread?

Acme sour baguettes were my favorite back in CA. Haven't found a favorite here.

The restaurant downstairs makes a good ciabatta. I buy two loaves at a time, and freeze - so it's always on hand.

Dipped in some flavored olive oil, or even toasted with some mayo and tomato slices....

Wonderful.

Ciabatta, crusty sourdough, salted dark rye, croissants.

Haven't had it in years - our local grocer gets it occasionally.

I grew up with this stuff - with cream cheese slathered all over....

Did you know that Ciabatta is a very new bread style? Italian baker created it in the 80’s.

"Very new"

40 years ago...

But, in the context of bread, yeah, it's pretty new, obviously.

Almost anything homemade is the best.

For plain old store bought bread I like Pepperidge Farm Raisin Cinnamon Swirl

[Axtremus]

Cheesecake Factory's dark bread.
Wegman's "Seeduction" bread.
Trader Joe's baguettes.
ALDI's half baked baguettes.

+1 for homemade with a pat of butter - but we rarely make it. The upscale market down the road has a great Italian Como bread.

I don't eat bread often - but love a good bagel.

@LuFins-Dad that sounds delicious. I prefer Italian bread that is warm but soft and with good butter. Hard to beat that. It's almost primitive.

For sandwiches and toast, I love rye.

Rye actually makes a very good PB&J.
