I love all kinds of bread but personally my favorite is a nice seeded rye bread, and my favorite context for it is a good reuben sandwich, heavy on the kraut. We were chatting about it at work so I was curious what the lemmings think.
Tiger bread is very versatile - good for toast, good for sandwiches, good for dipping in soup, etc.
I’m not sure I know anyone who doesn’t like tiger bread.
I’m also only just learning that it’s a Dutch invention? It’s sold in every supermarket in the UK. Seemingly came out of nowhere here in the early 2010s.
Variety is the spice of life, a bread for every occasion.
I’m of the opinion that sourdough makes for great french toast.
It definitely does! Around here I think a fluffy loaf of texas toast seems to be the most common for french toast and while I have nothing against that I think there are definitely better options.
Brioche, because it’s almost cake. It’s great on its own, in savory or sweet applications, with just some butter, in a sandwich, as French toast, as a burger bun, I could go on.
We seem to be inundated with “brioche” everywhere but somehow I doubt I’ve ever had an actual brioche. It sounds really good though
Injera, when you’re sitting with friends around a big basket of wat and tibs.
It’s a bit weird for me, but I haven’t eaten enough Ethiopian food to get used to it.
I have never had the pleasure but I’ve always wanted to try some! I did have to look it up but I have seen people eating it on travel/cooking shows and sometimes referring to it as “sponge bread”. There was an ethiopian restaurant in my hometown when I was a kid but sadly by the time I moved back in my 20’s it had closed.
Bagels, I love them so many ways. Breakfast sandwich, lunch sandwich, with peanut butter, with cream cheese, with butter.
Chewy goodness! One of my favorite things is a toasted bagel turkey sandy
You just cant go wrong with a bagel
French peasant bread as recreated by the folks at the fortress of Louisbourg.
I like when I can get it fresh.
That sounds superb, and I bet you can do all kinds of delicious things with it
In no particular order, these are my favorite breads:
- Pita - I can eat it with hummus everyday. Shawarma wraps are amazing.
- Naan - Garlic flavor to be specific. I treat it like garlic bread.
- Pan de sal - This is a Filipino-style roll that is usually eaten for breakfast. Dip it in your coffee or put whatever butter or jam you want.
All solid choices! I absolutely love naan and eat it whenever I get the chance. Also, nice username, Im also a Dune fan!
I love a good seeded, bouncy (not to be confused with airy), tangy sourdough bread. I’ll eat it untoasted or toasted with butter, or in a sandwich. Everyday if I could.
I am also partial to any naan, and Irish soda bread. Naan to be eaten with curries, and Irish soda bread toasted with butter.
I love a soft rye for a turkey sandwich. Add in spicy brown mustard, dill pickles, lettuce, tomato, and maybe havarti or Swiss cheese…
Now I’m hungry.
Ooooh that sounds really good right about now. Turkey and havarti is a great combo
I love a good, fresh baked Danish rye bread. Butter and a sharp cheese is all it really needs to make it perfect. Also a freshly baked roomali, wrapped around spicy chicken kebab with mint raita. Ooh, and a roti canai with that amazing Malay curry sauce they serve them with. Oh - and its close cousin the paratha, in almost any form. Maybe especially an aloo paratha.
These all sound so good! I think I’ve had danish rye bread before, though I can’t remember for sure if that’s what it was and since it was made in a bakery in Illinois I’m not sure if it counts at all. I have a list of things for my partner and I to try making on the rare day that we both have off of work and aloo paratha seems like it would be super fun and not too hard, so Im adding it to the list!
I really enjoy a loaf that kind of splits the difference between a crusty artisan loaf and a soft sandwich loaf, and has some texture to it, like seeds or cracked grains.
Me too! That’s right in the sweet spot
Pandesal and coffee, start the morning right.
Oh man, I have never had the pleasure of pandesal but it sounds absolutely fantastic! Do you eat it adjacent to the coffee or do you dip it in?
It’s great, just the right amount of sweetness to go along with coffee. I’ve seen people dip it, but I just enjoy it on the side. As long as both are hot and fresh, you can’t go wrong.
That sounds perfect for a nice morning breakfast
