Best Type Of Bread

[THUNDER HANDS]

I love bread, which is why I think the Atkins diet is so fucked up....

Just try to pry a nob of Italian bread from my cold, dead hands.

[neuvocat]

1. Try Vogel's multi-grain.

Very healthy, very good.

[U2Fanatic]

2. I like potato bread

surprisingly enough :p

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

3. Freihofer's 12 Grain

I pity the person who does not get Freihofer's where they live... yum

[Rowdyboy]

4. Ignoring corporate connections...

The fresh loaves with a hint of rosemary at the Macaroni Grill is VERY hard to beat. It is truly exceptional. I stop by and pick up a loaf every time I cook Italian. Whats left over makes the world's finest breadcrumbs.

5. Crusty Italian Bread, French Boule, When Pigs Fly (brand from Maine)

Sausage Bread from one of my local Italian bakeries.

When Pigs Fly is distributed through Whole Foods and other gourmet stores and makes WONDERFUL breads!

Wait a minute-I'm on Atkins!

6. portuguese table bread

not made from tables... this crusty airy loaf is good with soup, for sandwiches, and hot out of the oven with honey and butter.

7. Cornbread......actually MY special Broccoli Cornbread......

.....made some this afternoon to go with Red Beans and Rice w/Cajun Tasso!! :9 :9 :9

8. Pumpernickel !

But of course, with Hill Country sausage, saurkraut, and spicy brown mustard ! Split loaf almost in half, slather with spicy brown mustard, pile on saurkraut and an Opa's smoked sausage hot from the grill. Ah yes, Fredericksberg, TX and the Gillespie County Fairgrounds . . . Proof positive that Texas makes something more valuable than jackass *presidents.

14. Another vote for Pumpernickle...although good ones are getting hard to

find! Believe it or not I thought Pepperidge Farms was the best for years. But, something happened to all their breads in the last year and I don't buy them anymore. They did something to their flour. I buy "9th Street Bakery" now.

[Kellanved]

35. ahem

Do you know what "Pumpernickel" means?
Something like "farting dwarf"...

[DuctapeFatwa]

9. Where's Naan? Pita? Tortillas? Fry Bread? Injera? Biscuits?

Parker House Rolls? Pumpernickel? Steamed Buns?

You left off all the best ones!

[KoKo]

16. What's the best Pita? Commercial Pita? I can find local Pita, wondered

if there's a commercial one.

[DuctapeFatwa]

29. I think the best is local everywhere :)

I can't remember any of the names of the national brands, but I haven't noticed one being that different from the other

10. Homemade Foccacia With Rosemary

Or homemade sourdough. And two secrets for a good sourdough loaf is to put bricks or ovenproof tiles in the oven to bake on and also to spritz water into the oven just before putting the loaf in. Oh, and when making sourdough you have to use well water (water with no chemicals in it).

[Bozita]

12. ooooooh... that's nice

I can just hear the crunch as I saw off a crusty chunk.

[Bozita]

13. HEY, put the other picture back.

That's not a fair trade.

[ixion]

15. yeah, foccacia bread rules...

that's my vote. ;-)

[Fight_n_back]

11. Challa

nt

[foo_bar]

24. better than challa

If you want to discover G-d in bread form, then eat it, go here:

I don't mean that in the transubstantial sense. They just defy secular explanation.

[DuctapeFatwa]

31. oooh YESSSS, Bialis! Onion ones!!

I forgot about those. Challa is pretty, but bialis are addictive.

17. Greatest Hits

Its really kinda shmoltzy but nice songs all the same...Hee hee

[JVS]

18. Dense bread is good.

My test for a loaf of bread is to throw it at someone. If they get hit and it doesn't hurt them, then the bread is too fluffy. Similarly if they catch it easily it is too fluffy. If they get hit by it and it hurts them it is of proper density. It is also good if they catch it, but like a football, or if they dodge the bread because they know a big old kilogram of pain is coming their way.

19. Garlic!

Damnit.

[UAWONE]

20. Bread

NEW YORK SOUR RYE !!

[supernova]

21. German Multi-grain bread

is really good. I like almost all of the crusty european breads. Alas, since I eat atkins-style now, I eat bread only rarely.

[JVS]

23. Yes, excellent stuff. Especially when it has seeds on the crust

[Muesli]

36. Especially the Ostfriesisches Swarzbrot

I make it myself sometimes.

I even ride my bike over the dyke to the closest windmill to get some whole wheat rye flour (or whatever you call it in English). Seriously. But I don't wear wooden shoes.

[supernova]

22. La Brea Bakery breads

are a pretty good.

[nomaco-10]

25. sourdough, and anything else

from the local bakery. No doughy, spongey Wonder Bread for me.

[starroute]

30. Absolutely

We've got a world-class bakery about 20 minutes down the road. Great sourdough. Wonderful sesame semolina. All sorts of goodies.

[scarlet_owl]

26. Seeded sourdough from Strawberry Fields.

Mmmmm.. poppy seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds. It's terrific, but it tears up the roof of the mouth. I like it with Korean BBQ tofu, olive salad, provelone cheese, and lettuce.

[SoCalDem]

27. My homemade french bread

:)

[pandatimothy]

28. HONEY WHEAT LOAF WITH WHIPPED AIRESHYRE BUTTER

Sorry but you're making me hungry!

[LynneSin]

32. Atkins not screwed up -15lbs and counting

and Atkins has low carb bread available now. Just have to wait until the first couple of weeks trying to get the weight lose going!!

[Il_Coniglietto]

33. I don't know what it's called

but if any of you have ever been to the Crocodile Cafe in California, they've got this really fantastic bread that's served warm with butter. It's sort of spherical in shape and is cut into four pieces though not all the way through as they connect at the bottom. It's pretty confusing but sooo good! I like Gladstone's bread too...I think it's sourdough.

Oh, and this Italian restaurant near me (in South Pasadena) has really great bread too. I like restaurant breads :)

[JohnKleeb]

34. Italian

[seamarq]

37. NW Hazelnut

38. BAGELS
