Honestly 99% of bread you can buy in a supermarket is dogshit next to stuff you bake yourself. Even the most basic white cob homemade is better.

In the US the fillings in the sandwich are the main focus, and entire cultures in the US have been built on the bread being an afterthought. Head to the south and laugh when the hillbillys pull out a loaf of wonderbread for BBQs, or even in restaurants. fuckin weirds me out big time. i prefer to focus on the fillings and then butter/toast the bread. even wonderbread is gg with butter.



ya we subsidized corn sugar long ago, and when they ran out of normal uses they started to stuff it in just about everything. white bread has a shocking amount of sugar in it.

other than white bread we make most of our bread in my house, the wife has a gluten intolerance and i've got my recipe down to about 1-2$ a loaf, compared to 5$/loaf at the store for one half the size.


Dutch supermarkets tend to have bakeries inside with freshly made bread, but Germans do it better. I pay about €1,- for a good quality loaf of bread (wholegrain, seeds inside, etc).

as with all things in the US we've gotten efficiency to the point that quality drastically drops.

most supermarkets here have a bakery as well but almost none are scratch bakeries. they order frozen loves of bread, they defrost over night, then quick proof them before baking them off. its better than some bread in bags they get shipped in pre-sliced but its dogshit compared to scratch baking. (source: worked in american supermarket bakery for 3 years on college)

we handmade all of the donuts tho!

100%, and true with pasta as well. i take eggs from my chickens and make homemade pasta for people, they cant believe that it's the same ingredients as boxed pasta. the freshness is a world of difference.

and especially in the case of pasta it's just so easy and cheap to make. At least here in the UK it's cheaper than buying it ready made.

Pasta #1 easiest thing to do yourself that will improve your meals tenfold. If you haven't tried it - do it. Literally just flour and eggs will do but you get a better result if you add some salt and a touch of olive oil. Mix salt and flour, dump flour on table, make a well in the middle, drop in eggs, add spoon of oil, stir eggs in well to slowly combine flour until you have a nice dough. Knead a bit. Leave to rest for half an hour or so. Roll it out til you can see your hand through it and cut it however you want.

Simpler than most salads.

Cooks in like 90 seconds too.

yup only thing i'd add is i drop the yokes in the well first to get them started then add in the whites. if you've got a stand mixer tho (like i just got) toss it all in with a bread hook attachment and its even easier.
