The Great Bread War

Americans need to stop putting high fructose corn syrup in everything.

Store you yeast in the fridge if you want it to last a bit longer

You can refrigerate yeast? That I legitimately did not know.

Bread should be this: flour, water, salt (optional)

No leavening agent? How very Jewish of you.

Why put sugar in bread if you aren't eating it with sweets. That is insane like deep fried Snickers bars or chocolate coated bacon.

It's not uncommon to add sugar, honey, or molasses to even homemade breads, especially breads with a lot of whole-wheat or rye flour. It encourages fermentation from the yeast. A lot of German and Swedish rye bread recipes I've seen call for a little bit of sweetener.

Dried yeast doesn't care about the cold, as long as you don't totally freeze it for more than a month. Fresh yeast you can't freeze but it's not too bothered by fridge temps.
If it's old, bosh some in a jar with water and a pinch of salt and sugar and put it somewhere warm. Don't even think of using it until it starts to foam - and it will unless it is ancient.
I've used a thirty year old pack of dried yeast successfully. (Nan never threw anything away, and I got curious during the cleanout.)

>not eating gods bread, rye bread with salty butter and cheese.
Imagine being under the influence of the corn jew.
Couldnt be me!

Rye or corn? Bread is made flour, salt, yeast. Maybe salt.

If you want sweet may as well go for a sweet-roll.

American bread is just sweet rolls.

I've been making bread recently, but it's so cold here that getting it to proof well is ridiculously hard. I have to keep it like next to the fireplace and rotate it regularly to prevent it from par-baking

It's legally classified as cake in any other country.

This retarded myth comes from the fact that Subway's bread is classified as cake in Ireland. Most American bread doesn't have as much sugar as Subway and most countries don't have as autistic a definition of cake.

You are dumb and gay.

You've clearly never had cheap American bread. Try it sometime.

Every American food product is designed to include as many possible extra ingredients so that corporations can tap into as many possible markets as they can. The health of the American people was sold off a long time ago to the corn and sugar producers for the sole purpose of extra profit. Do not expect the quality of any American food to improve within our lifetimes.

 

[LeChampion1992]

Most bread in the US is basically cake in disguise, that's a big problem

That's only loaf bread for sandwiches which year it's based of English white bread and made with extra sugar to be shelf stable longer.
Thus is why wondrebread can last a month before molding where the french bread goes bad after 2 days if not dried out.

Again most of the bread I buy French bread, pumpernickel rye bread and etc... tends to be almost exactly the same as euro ingredients. The issue I have with most American bread is that most people assume it's just sliced loaf bread we eat when I enjoy baguettes.

A bread lasting a month? That's crazy, but makes sense why they would add sugar to it. It may give beetus but your inventory's shelf life is at least quadrupled...

I mean most people are at risk of diabetes these days even healthy nations as the average person globally consumes 24x the sugar they did in the Victorian era.
Even in places like Japan or Germany or Russia you're seeing a rise in diabetes. The only place where it's in the decline is sanctions economies where one cannot afford food think Venezuela and even recently the country has taken economic reforms.

If you have any decent American bread, post it below. Homemade bread is disqualified because homemade will always be better than store bought.

I was in San Francisco recently and Boudin had some actually decent bread.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Our food is poison. It's salted, sugared, chemical laden, and overpriced considering all that. If they're gonna make it slop, make it cheap slop at least.
