What do you think is the biggest problem with bread in the US?
Most of it is sliced white tasteless with no food value at all. US needs better quality bread at prices affordable for everyone. Another problem is allowing white bread to be purchased with food stamp cards. Cant buy it with WIC why is this allowed with food stamps? Cut out all the junk food that is allowed to be purchased with food stamps.
If you want good store brought bread try the kiaser roll or flat bread.
They are fine but too salty
Nothing
I said that 60 years ago when I was a teen. My parents would buy some bread from a bakery and some from the grocery store. The bakery bread was yummy but the sliced store bought bread was very soft and not much flavor.
Bread in US tastes like some factory cake.
I have learned to make my own bread. Tastes much better than store bought, I know what's in it and that it is fresh.
But be aware the good breadmaking machines are not in the cheap department. Be prepared to pay around US$110 minimum for a quality machine.
@Sacto1654 I don't use a bread machine or a stand mixer
@@joycewilson7048 Welcome to a lot of work. 🙂 But it does result in really nice bread, though.
Yes bread making means dough sticking to your hands and getting powdery flour on your clothes and everywhere.
@@Sacto1654 food processor baby! Use that to form the dough ball, place in a covered bowl, let yeast do their thing, shape into bread, and let sit before putting in the oven.
I keep a loaf of Pepperidge Farm on hand in case I can’t get to the grocery. It lasts literally months. I’m afraid to know why.
🤔 😲😳😬 🤣😂🤣
I find that artisan (i.e., real) bread doesn't get moldy after a few days. They just get as hard as a rock, but since they don't get moldy, I find that I can keep them longer as long as they stay moisture free. Hard bread is also suitable for dipping in soups or making French toast with, so nothing goes to waste.
French toast tastes better if the bread is a bit dry: soaks up more egg/milk 😋
Check the sodium levels of the bread , salt is also a preservative and slows down mold , not really healthy though .
Plus I just buy an amount of bread I can finish within a couple of day’s.
Mass produced bread is garbage
It is junk 'bread', so it is garbage :)
Thankfully I live in the Phila/South NJ region and we have no shortage of legit Italian bakeries for fresh bread
Its ooh so easy to make your own!! Gluten free if u like that too!! Nothing like the smell of fresh baking bread!! Fresh out the oven butter(homemade also) and raw organic honey oh my Lord!! Learn to make it yourself your kids will love to help to
Honestly? I think the biggest problem with bread in the US isnt really the bread itself so much as homemade bread making is becoming/has become a lost art. It really is simple to make and literally costs pennies on the dollar compared to store bought bread.
Population, Population density and people wanting to go into the Bakery trade necessitated mass production of bread in the US. There are 8700 independent bakeries in the United States compared to the 30,000 in France and over 10,000 in Germany alone. European countries have higher population densities making it easier for you to be within walking distance of a bakery.
I like premium-quality whole grain loaves, especially when they’re day old and discounted. 🥖 Sliced bread is not among the one thousand greatest inventions of all-time, I can assure you of that !
Fresh baked is great but really when you are just using it how most Americans use it slice bread isn't that bad. Especially since most of us don't eat bread as much the whole loaf would spoil before eating all of it. And honestly it doesn't make much sense unless you get it freshly baked as after sitting for a while the bread becomes stale and unpleasant. Most European countries eat enough bread that it probably rarely leave old bread ( an hour at most after baking) so in fact it actually saved the bread industry and there are artisan breads that do sell and sell more than people think. The main thing is that Americans eat less bread than European people. Then again you miss out on the fact that a person can buy a bread and have it last a couple of days before it gets mold. That means for the poor people they can eat bread cheaper
That's why we have refrigerators.
Used to like the bread from the Bakery in Naples , Italy. Yummy!
I live in a small town in West Virginia. There are two Italian bread bakery here, they only make bread and pepperoni rolls. No sweets. They sale it in all the grocery stores . But if you go to the bakery , it so fresh and warm. I swear I think this is what heaven smells like.
New Orleans has very good bread but they do not know it. They think that their bread is just bread. They think that everyone has bread like theirs, not special. The bread is the secret ingredient for the Po'boy sandwich, why it cannot be replicated in any other city. French bread or Italian, no where else.
When I was a child in Jacksonville Florida the Lone Ranger on radio was sponsored by Merita Bread. It was the bread for my PB&J and my Bologna (pronounced baloney) Sandwiches. I did not have anything to compare it to. How was I to know? How was I to know that one is supposed to break bread, not slice it, much less buy it already sliced. Yes, I participated in ruining bread for America but I was just an innocent child who could not have been expected to know better.
American store bought bread 🍞 is used for sandwiches 🥪 but we don’t usually just eat it by itself like they do in Europe and most other parts of the world. If we eat bread by itself we usually at least put butter 🧈 or jelly on it. That’s the difference.
I am from Europe. And we usually do not eat bread alone. We make sandwiches using real bread.
But fresh real bread is so good, that you can it alone or with butter :)
Thank you for the video Johnny Harris…
the problem with bread in america is the sugar !!!! it is NOT cake !!! it is supposed to be BREAD. and it also should have consistency - NOT soft mush !!!!!!!!
Exactly
Plain American sandwich bread is barely edible.
Toasting it and smearing it with cream cheese improves it's flavor.
Another way is to coat the bread slices in eggs and fry them to make french toast.
Our country needs to regulate the food industry more but we probably won't. it's shocking how many calories are in some foods
With " good quality " bread being almost 7 bucks a loaf, people on limited monies can't afford to buy. That's why they are buying the cheap stuff.
Check bread at bakery in Lidl. For example walnut bread or German sourdough bread.
I think you're forgetting a huge issue with bread made European-style: they have a *VERY* short shelf life. That could potentially mean a lot of bread wasted because you have to buy new loaves of bread every 3-5 days. That explains why in places like France, customers have to buy bread every 2-3 days at minimum.
Not necessarily. Although fresh baked, consumed within 2 days is best, you can buy more and store some in the freezer. That extends shelf life considerably.
@@hansreynders6853 There's also a trick to revive old bread by dipping it in water then baking it for a certain amount of time, a trick mentioned on UA-cam several times.
When you get used to fresh, crunchy, delicious bread, it is not a problem to buy it daily.
Chilean here. Bakeries have a schedule for bringing the freshly baked bread, usually three times a day.
America is built around the car. Other countries, bakeries are more common than gas stations.
Anyone ever heard of Sourdough?
Especially German sourdough bread made using whole wheat/rye flour :)
Very true
Homemade bread yum
I use unbleached king Arthur
I'll save the bleach for cleaning
Didn't realize 1g sugar equated to cake.
I don't use a bread machine or a stand mixer.
With all that stuff added no wonder there is so much high blood pressure around
I figured America ruined bread a few days back when you released that video about Wonder bread.
The US bread is pure cardboard compared with bread from other countries, let's face bread in the USA is not real bread is Frankenstein wax made in a laboratory.
Artesano ain't bad for store bread
We're all going to die!! Aigghhhhh!!
Bread is bad everywhere! Its starch and that's just sugar.
There are much much more choices in North American breads. Take your pick. That's the big difference.
😂😂😂
Shelf life.
