Most white loaf bread recipes start with "dissolve sugar into warm water, add yeast, allow to proof until thick and foamy."

Most American white loaf bread recipes...

Even in the UK, we would call most American bread "fortified dough", like a sweet/pudding, not bread. I bake occasionally and it's flour, water, salt and yeast.

Yeah that's what I do as an American. Sometimes some spices go in if I'm feeling fancy

Not really it's like a sprinkle of sugar. It reawakens the yeast faster. I don't personally do it, but it's a basic baking technique on par with egg washes or steam baking

Proofing yeast is crazy to the Brits. If you say so.
