I had a pony!: Beats the hell out of me. The Publix bakery is no joke though

I have a fresh loaf of Chicago bread from Publix and it is taking everything in my whole body to not devour the whole thing with generous slabs of salted butter. Where is my medal.

What on earth is "Chicago bread"?

lol I don't think I've ever seen the phrase "Chicago bread" in Chicago so I didn't know what you were talking about either

I mean I also do not know but I do know it’s delicious and has a soft and almost melty crumb with a nice semi-crisp crust 😍

I mean it looks like a delicious loaf of Italian bread. Maybe a little olive oil and pepper needed

I’ve been doing salted butter but it would also be dreamy dipped in olive oil (ask me how I know)

This reminds me I'm out of olive oil but I've been too lazy to venture off to costco to resupply

Yes, I love Italian bread and would eat this but obviously no one in the Northeast is going to give credit to Chicago for bread even if they can show a patent

well obviously they don't call it "Chicago bread" in Chicago that's just silly it's just called "bread" there

chicago bread is just lake water. can't believe they got it to travel like that

not true, we definitely call them Chicago style hot dogs on the regular

when obliquely talking about them, sure, but if you say you're going to get a hot dog, the Chicago-style-ness is understood and not usually said.

but plenty of places fuck up the Chicago-style-ness and thus the specificity required when discussing where to go

Freedom bread

My favorite regional bread is Dutch Crunch from the Bay Area www.foodandwine.com/news/dutch-c...

Dutch Crunch Is The Best Sandwich Bread You've Never Heard Ofwww.foodandwine.com Northern California may not have a single signature sandwich, but a signature sandwich bread? Absolutely, and its name is Dutch Crunch. Sure, there's ...

That sounds amazing

I am partial to Portuguese rolls leitesculinaria.com/282693/recip...

Papo Secos ~ Portuguese Rollsleitesculinaria.com Papo secos are traditional Portuguese rolls. These sandwich buns are light and airy with a slightly crispy crust. They're ideal for bifanas.

See usually I’m a sourdough gal. Good sourdough tho

It’s excellent (will tear up the roof of your mouth though)

I’ve been in the captain crunch wars nothing can phase me

The best possible container for turkey avocado bacon Swiss

Is this just another euphemism for a Thompson machine gun?

Chicago Bread is what you use to bribe alderman with

dang I used to have to know chicago style vs italian I think chicago style had no salt? makes a big crusty ass-shell if you proofed it a nanosecond too long

Description says no sugar, fats or oils

ah that was it sugar not salt. I feel like every publix I worked at had at least a few chicago style thin sliced loving regulars

It’s fucking delicious and I don’t know why it’s my backup option when it should be my full frontal option

See, that makes me wonder how they get the yeast to rise. Any bread I’ve made relies on a bit of sugar to get the yeast going.

Short version: Yeast can only directly eat simple sugars, but there are enzymes which will break down starches and complex sugars into simple sugars, and those enzymes are present in bread dough.

Do you wanna buy Los Angeles bread from me It’s a thing

I buy La Brea. That’s close-ish isn’t it

I mean tbf LA would have breads named after specific neighborhoods and act like they’re separate cities Ok have you tried DTLA bread

Oh wait I forgot There’s an actual la brea bread brand iirc
