Thread: The BREAD THREAD!!!

Seriously. Where the hell has THIS been??

Bread is awesome. Whether you buy it at the store or make it yourself, bread fills a niche in the American diet.

Breadmakers were all the rage back in the late 90s. We got ours for a wedding gift and worked it to the point it gave up the ghost about three years back. Haven't replaced it yet, so we just buy good bread at the store.

For average everyday type bread, I really like the cracked wheat sandwich bread that Safeway/Vons puts out. Soft and flavorful, it's good for everything from PB&Js to clubs. I particularly like it toasted with crunchy peanut butter in the morning.

San Luis Sourdough (owned by Sara Lee) makes what I consider to be the BEST store-bought sourdough. Sliced about 1/4" thick, it toasts AWESOME and makes kick-ass tuna melts. In fact, I just got done eating a couple slices toasted and liberally buttered. YUM.

What're your favorite breads??

PS. Screw carb-counters.

I'm hooked on Ralph's fresh sourdough from their bakery inside the store. Makes the best toast.

I live the bread that has sunflower seeds and other heavy grains in it. Costco has a good one I prefer.

I also like TJs Garlic Focacia. For BBQs, dipped in oil and balsamic is very very good.

I've got excellent banana-nut bread and pumpkin bread recipes around here somewhere if anyone's interested.

the cinnamon swirl bread from the wal-mart bakery is pretty good, $2.50 a loaf and lasts me a week for breakfast at work

As we are swimming in zuccini right now, the wifey is baking up a bunch of Zuc Bread. I love the stuff. Glenn, Mrs X II would like to see your bread recipes.

my friends mom makes the best zucchini bread, im trying to get him to have her ship some out from jersey.
