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.
Thanks for the tip about the paper bag. I’ll have to try that when I next have access to a freezer
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.
That’s a wonderful memory, thank you for sharing. I’ve got a massive smile on my face imagining you guys laughing so much that it was hard to eat the toast. That might not be how it happened, but it’s a sweet mental image nonetheless
And cinnamon
Do you sprinkle the cinnamon on it? I’ve never heard of this but fucking love cinnamon
Can’t speak for them, but I mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle that one the buttered toast.
It’s my favourite on pancakes! Even maple syrup, which I love so much that I enjoy eating it by the spoonful, just doesn’t compare to that crunchy texture.
Sure do and it’s pretty damn amazing. The sugar the other reply mentions is a nice touch it too.
Also peanut butter. Yes, still with normal butter. Also works with cinnamon, too.
Why with regular butter? That sounds like a redundant amount of fat.
It is indulgent for sure.
But I mean, two sources of fat doesn’t make it redundant, they’re doing different things. The butter makes the toast not dry, and the peanut butter makes it creamy and adds flavor. It’s like a grilled cheese, cheese and butter are both fat sources, but they’re not redundant.
On a grilled cheese, you taste the butter first because it’s on the outside, and get the cheese later on the inside.
It sounds like the butter goes between the pb and bread, can you really still taste it? Or do you put it on the outside like with a grilled cheese?
Definitely can taste it. It melts into the toast first, and the peanut butter doesn’t, so the taste is more buttered toast + pb. It also softens the toast, so theres a distinct texture difference between that and just peanut butter on toast.
Grilled pb sandwich is interesting though now imma have to try that.
Ooh, I’m going to try this.
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?
I love good butter on toast, I have it most days it’s so good
Just reading this meme made me want some
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??
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.
My dad and I used to eat an entire French baguette on the way home from the grocery store. I love bread.
Id rather have some olive oil and balsamic vinegar but yeah I’d eat that every day if I could
Mmmmm Fresh sourdough from a bakery
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.
Buttered toast with garlic powder was my jam back when I was completely impoverished.
I can’t taste any amount of garlic below a spoonful of toum. I might just need to call it quits
Yup it’s happened to me too
Depends, only if its fresh bread and preferably sourdough :3
