Don’t ever buy a bread machine
-
Was about to say, I think I eat the first third of a loaf in the hour after the bread machine finishes. Fresh bread while its still warm is too good.
-

Toast is a weird thing where you take bread, which is baked, and you say "no, this needs to be baked even more! In fact I'll buy a machine specifically for doing this!"
-
We've had one, yes, but what about second maillard reaction?
-
So maybe this is better pondered after a bong hit... but the point of making toast is really to expose the soft inside of the bread and crisp that up like the crust of the original bread. So, with a thick slice like Texas Toast, could you cut that toast into strips and re-toast the newly-exposed edges? What would that be called? And how many times could you do that?

Throw the bread in a pan is so 1900.

One of my last memories of my father is making him toast. Then he asked for another. Then we laughed when he asked for more. We ate the whole loaf laughing.
-
And cinnamon
-
Make cinnamon bread so you just add butter. So good.
-
Phase? You mean the craving for good butter toast is going to end at some point?
-
Just reading this meme made me want some
-
I love good butter on toast, I have it most days it's so good
-
-
restrain yourself
What’s that?
-
I think I read about it once. Sounded awful!
-
-
There are people who don’t experience this?’
-
Did someone say buttered toast??
-
Only when I make my own bread. Store bought bread is basically tasteless and should only be used as a medium to contain sandwich ingredients when you wre too tired/lazy/incapable of making your own.
-
100% this, but some fancier breads are fine from the store.
-
Where do you live? I feel like this rings quite differently if you live in the US or UK, vs. one of the central European countries with a rich bread tradition.

My dad and I used to eat an entire French baguette on the way home from the grocery store. I love bread.
-
My daughter came over once & I had fresh sourdough I'd made so I offered her bread and water.
"May I offer you fresh sourdough with butter and chilled filtered water?"
Yes I don't get tired of that. Good bread is good. So good.
-
Id rather have some olive oil and balsamic vinegar but yeah I'd eat that every day if I could
-
Occasional?
-
Toasted English muffin with cream cheese and jelly goes crazy.
-
I'd personally go butter not cream cheese, but otherwise agree
-
Sounds like you want a bagel.

Used to up until my early 20s, I very rarely buy plain white bread now and it's not that common in stores here (Sweden). Obviously there's two or three brands of basic white toast bread and some in store fresh white bread but we have tons of choices with so many different ingredients, and never any weird additives or bread that is as much bread as american cheese is cheese (seen those kinds abroad and from images and videos from the US).
My current two favourites are a wholegrain durum wheat sourdough with flaxseeds and sea salt and the other is a rye sourdough with wort, barley malt and a small amount of dark treacle (similar to molasses in taste). But I often try new kinds, even the smaller food stores here have like 30 different breads (not including stuff like burger and hot dog buns etc.)
-
Doesn't every culture on earth have some sort of bread product? I would guess that is because once you have it, it is addictive.
-
My understanding is that it's a borrowed food in east Asia, esp Japan and Korea. Japan uses the Portuguese word "pão", and Korean "bbang" is a derivative of that, and but Chinese bao seems to be different. I'm guessing a lot of eastern and south east Asian countries are similar.

Toast with butter and jam.
-
No no no. That is dessert at that point.
Toast and butter - maybe with a bit of garlic rubbed on the bread prior to buttering - is perfect on its own. Especially in the autumn with the cold weather coming in.
-
I can't taste any amount of garlic below a spoonful of toum. I might just need to call it quits
-
On that note, butter on toast with a sprinkle of sugar is magic
-
-
-
Try fresh tortillas, they work the same way. Not the precooked ones, but the raw ones you cook on a pan.
-
If you ever find yourself in Mexico, go to a neighborhood tortillería and buy a couple of fresh tortillas. They may have been made using a machine but they're so soft and smell amazing. I'd usually walk out with a small bag in one hand and a rolled up tortilla in the other.
-
My coworker's family runs one and sometimes they bring me back a bag. It's not fresh obviously, but they're still better than anything I've found at the store.
I really need to find a good tortilleria here.
But yeah, I'm still trying to convince my SO to go, but the news about cartel activities certainly don't help.

Marmite
-
Cenovis but I'm with you 100% on that one. My kids and wife don't share my live of the black stuff, but it is so good!
-
-
Yup it's happened to me too
-
Yeah. Most evenings when I get back from work.
-
That's just being French, but yeah, we hear you ;)
-
Fresh sourdough from a bakery yes absolutely
-
Buttered toast with peanut butter. If you can get some homemade apple butter to make it a sandwich, now that's the best thing ever.
-
re: buttered sourdough bread: also fantastic is texas toast on a skillet - just melt the butter, let the bread soak it up on each side, then pan toast that shit. it's glorious.
-
Folk Wisdom: The whiter the bread the quicker you're dead.
-
This is me, but with naan and baba ganoush. Can put away 10 slices of naan if I'm left unsupervised.
-
Depends, only if its fresh bread and preferably sourdough :3
-
I don't experience the restraint
-
I miss the days before I'd made the very upsetting connection of the digestive consequences for eating a loaf of buttered toast with eating a loaf of buttered toast.
-
"Occasional"?
-
That "occasional phase" is called "keto diet."
-
Non salted crackers
-
butter on saltines as a scooping tool for chili: perfection
I did not know people did this. I'm glad I found out.
-
-
I really struggle to get through bread. Even whatever the hell the McDonalds brioche is made of, I can’t always finish it.
-
Try making a fresh loaf at home, it's way better. I can finish a fresh, whole wheat loaf in a sitting.

After viewing the post but before looking at the poster, I thought this was a LadyButterfly post.
I have phases where plain, untoasted toast bread is exactly what I want to eat. And I live in Germany, good bread is quite readily available, though it's getting pretty expensive these days compared to storebrand toast. On that note, good bread with butter is great. Truly great bread tastes good plain!
The annoying part is that getting a fresh loaf with just the right amount of moisture depends on luck and/or getting to the baker really early. For my tastes, German rye/wheat sourdough bread turns from "great" to "just OK" rather quickly, especially if you're buying half loafes because you're living in a one person household.
Just freeze the part that you dont plan to immediately eat. Im also a german enjoyer of fresh and/or homemade bread and thats what ive been doing for years. Buy bread/brötchen and directly chuck it in the freezer. When you need some, it will thaw in like 1-2h if you just leave it in a paper bag. The consistency and crunchyness will be perfectly preserved in my experience. If you need it fast then a microwave and/or toaster can help, but the microwave can make it mushy if you leave it too long.
I have considered that, but I just don't have the space in my freezer.
