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.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the tip about the paper bag. I'll have to try that when I next have access to a freezer

[-] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 11 points 3 weeks ago

Phase? You mean the craving for good butter toast is going to end at some point?

Do you sprinkle the cinnamon on it? I've never heard of this but fucking love cinnamon

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

Can't speak for them, but I mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle that one the buttered toast.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] derry@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sure do and it's pretty damn amazing. The sugar the other reply mentions is a nice touch it too.

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Also peanut butter. Yes, still with normal butter. Also works with cinnamon, too.

restrain yourself

What’s that?

[-] Valthorn@feddit.nu 7 points 3 weeks ago

I think I read about it once. Sounded awful!

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Did someone say buttered toast??

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

There are people who don’t experience this?’

[-] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

My dad and I used to eat an entire French baguette on the way home from the grocery store. I love bread.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Id rather have some olive oil and balsamic vinegar but yeah I'd eat that every day if I could

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Mmmmm Fresh sourdough from a bakery

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

Toast with butter and jam.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

I can't taste any amount of garlic below a spoonful of toum. I might just need to call it quits

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

Buttered toast with garlic powder was my jam back when I was completely impoverished.

[-] stefenauris@pawb.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yup it's happened to me too

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

Folk Wisdom: The whiter the bread the quicker you're dead.

[-] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Occasional?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Try fresh tortillas, they work the same way. Not the precooked ones, but the raw ones you cook on a pan.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

If you ever find yourself in Mexico, go to a neighborhood tortillería and buy a couple of fresh tortillas. They may have been made using a machine but they're so soft and smell amazing. I'd usually walk out with a small bag in one hand and a rolled up tortilla in the other.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

My coworker's family runs one and sometimes they bring me back a bag. It's not fresh obviously, but they're still better than anything I've found at the store.

I really need to find a good tortilleria here.

But yeah, I'm still trying to convince my SO to go, but the news about cartel activities certainly don't help.

[-] kittenzrulz123 3 points 3 weeks ago

Depends, only if its fresh bread and preferably sourdough :3

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's just being French, but yeah, we hear you ;)

[-] SkellyMonstera@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is me, but with naan and baba ganoush. Can put away 10 slices of naan if I'm left unsupervised.

[-] Juice@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't experience the restraint

[-] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

I miss the days before I'd made the very upsetting connection of the digestive consequences for eating a loaf of buttered toast with eating a loaf of buttered toast.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

re: buttered sourdough bread: also fantastic is texas toast on a skillet - just melt the butter, let the bread soak it up on each side, then pan toast that shit. it's glorious.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 3 weeks ago

"Occasional"?

[-] JamieDub86@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. Most evenings when I get back from work.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

After viewing the post but before looking at the poster, I thought this was a LadyButterfly post.

butter on saltines as a scooping tool for chili: perfection

I did not know people did this. I'm glad I found out.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

I really struggle to get through bread. Even whatever the hell the McDonalds brioche is made of, I can’t always finish it.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Try making a fresh loaf at home, it's way better. I can finish a fresh, whole wheat loaf in a sitting.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm staying in a friend's spare room at the moment, and one of the staple foods they always have in is bagels. I have been going nuts for buttered, toasted bagels lately. At first, it was just because I was hungry and there wasn't anything else in that I could eat, but lately I've been enjoying them so much that I've had to make them one of the items that I buy (so that I don't end up eating so many that they run out)
