You do eat artisan bread, right anon?
>>21773232I've bought baguettes and focaccia before for sandwiches, but only once because it wasn't that good.
>>21773232maybe they make it because they can sell one loaf and cover the cost of baking a dozen
>>21773232I buy a baguette every now and then when the mood strikes, nice to get home and tear into it with some cheese.
>>21773232I'm European so I go to an actual bakery not this plastic supermarket shitI mostly buy rye bread though.
>>21773232There is only one artisan bread at my grocery. All others contain this chemical PRISTINE, an anti fungal. IM SO FUCKING SICK OF THEM ADDING THIS SHIT TO FOOD.
I'm European so I pop in a butt plug and walk stiff-legged into an actual bakery not this plastic supermarket shit
>>21773232I make it, so yes, I eat it as well.
>>21773259>maybe they make it because they can sell one loaf and cover the cost of baking a dozenNow that's an interesting question. I wonder who I would ask.
>>21773267I'm not European but I also go to a bakery. Good bread is worth it.
>>21773232that stuff has way too much sodium.I bake my bread at home and I use zero sodium in my bread.
>>21773232I buy a baguette from my local grocery store often, at least once a week. It's a habit I picked up from my family growing up, who also frequently bought baguettes, which my parents called "french bread". I loved them and I still do. The bread not my parents.
>>21773232It would be 50% of my diet if I was not sensitive go gluten. Bread and olive oil with anything is a ritzy meal that costs almost nothing.
>>21773334Jesus I don't even think it's legal to sell bread made without salt in some countries
>>21773381I freeze my bread so it stays good.I use aspartame for flavor instead. Aspartame is much healthier than sodium.
>>21773232I make bread better than a lot of dedicated bakeries I've been to, and much better than what's at grocery stores(most people with a week or two of practice could do better than their grocery store). Usually if I'm getting a bread item from a bakery it's for the convenience because some things are more annoying to make than others. Pastry is a different beast and I'm not nearly as good at that.
>>21773232I used to bake those at a grocery store, i sometimes buy them. And i know the ones that don’t get sold got turned into croutons or garlic bread lol
>>21773390go to better bakeris mate
>>21773254yo focaccia is crazy good, did you lightly moisturize it by hand bake it quickly pre sandwich assembly because thats where flavor town is at. A little wok hey of sorts pre ingestion goes a looooooong way. Also i gotta say they are going to be dissapointing if they arent greased up properly which kinda defeats the purpose but they are a culinary experience nontheless
>>21773408I did, that's why I only do bread better than a lot of them. Keep practicing and you'll find yourself in the same boat. You can do better than you think at home, just not to the scale and efficiency of a bakery.
>>21773267I'm in rural sister fucking nowhere America with a population of 300 and we have a bakery a couple minutes up the road. idk where Europeans get this idea that we have no bakeries.
>>21773429>Keep practicing and you'll find yourself in the same boatbuddy i buy my bread from this mango to better bakeries buddy, you don’t even know what excellent bread is
>>21773439He wasn't born baking that well. Nobody was. You insult his craft by diminishing the hard work and practice it took for him to reach his level of excellence. Next time you're licking his taint for a profiterole, ask him how he got as good as he is.
>>21773232>cropped out post number and dateNot reading that shit. Go back and also kill yourself.
>>21773449better bakeries, buddythat’s where the excellent bread is
>>21773464So do you just not try to bake at all yourself because you can buy this frenchman's bread?
>>21773478strange logic buddyi do bake, but i don't go to shitty bakeries and am not delusional so i know what excellent bread isbuddy go to better bakeries, life is too short for mid bread
>>21773493I've had excellent french bread with tasty french cultured butter, it's not the 1800s anymore. Travel is easier in modern day and even your guy is on social media these days. I'm happy you live near a particular bakery, but it's weird you keep bringing it up like it's all you have going on and nobody goes to france to eat food there. I would have liked to have a conversation about the topic but if you can only say one thing on repeat like a dementia patient then there's not much more to discuss, so have a nice day.
>>21773436>idk where Europeans get this idea that we have no bakeriesFrom 99% of american discussion on bread being based on supermarket bought stuff
>>21773529most people do buy their bread at supermarkets which I believe is the fault of housewives being lazy. during the middle of the last century there was enormous drive to make the job of home making effortless through boxes cake mixes, canned food, and various other instant products. housewives threw so much of a fit during ww2 when bread stopped being sliced for metal rationing that they had to bring sliced bread back. they were literally too lazy to slice bread while their husbands were away getting shot in the face.
>>21773529dont tell them its all cornbread
>>21773232I'm eating bread right now
>>21773267I'd rather have plastic supermarkets than have my country taken over by islamists
>>2177323220 years ago i worked in a grocery store bakery. Based on previous sales we knew how much of each type of bread to put out by day of the week knowing customers have routines. Very little is wasted and if something sits out for a few days you slap a 50% off sticker on it and it's gone within minutes. Some people even walk up to the counter and ask if you can put the sticker on something because the bread was baked 2 days ago.Also, and this might be a Canada thing, but we would bake like 20 baguettes at around 6PM and put them out steaming in their bag and there would be a line of people waiting for the "fresh stuff" to take home for dinner. Not realizing it was frozen pre cooked baguettes that we just re heated.

Lidl having great bakery offerings is a key to their success tho
>>21773232Every woman I know loves this stuff, they particularly like the breads with something baked it, cheese, chillies, chocolate, etc. For me, it's too overpriced and I would buy maybe two baguettes a year during the summer.
>>21773562>lettuce sandwichgrim
>>21773267>though.stopped reading there
>>21773232Bought some recently, it turned moldy in like 3 days.
If it comes wrapped in plastic I'm not touching it.
>>21773562>lettuce sandwichexcellent choice my friend
>live near some pretty good bakeries >simple homemade bread turns out better 80% of the time anywayThis shit must be psychological because I'm not that good of a baker. Just a hobby I picked up a few years ago.
>>21774179it's because the love you put into it
>>21773562
>>21774194I don't get it! Someone please help me out here!
>>21773439>MOFbased
>>21773267just say you're german
>>21773259This, bakeries have an absurd amount of waste, if we didn't way overcharge for our baked goods we'd be out of business.
>>21774483A baguette tradition is like 1,30€
>>21774274they're really next levelgood bread is easy to makeexcellent bread is hard to make that's why it's called a craftexperiencing the work of a MOF is always a pleasure
>>21773232those breads may not be sold, but supermarket-people (I refuse to call them bakers) do bake them at least: once the bread is too old/stale, they're refurbished into croutons, or mixed to become basic paste/filling for savory dishes
>>21774196it's just dry humour
>>21774483which is dumb: just make way less but not as expensive: more sales and it creates scarcity
>>21774893>I refuse to call them bakersIf their job is to go in every day and work in the bakery section, baking things then yes they are bakers. Clutch your pearls elsewhere.
>>21774919What delusional people think is irrelevant.
>>21774933It's a basic definition. If it is your job to bake bread and pastries then you are a baker. Why does that make you so assmad?
>>21774936>It's a basic definition.No shit. The anon who refuses to call bakers bakers is delusional.This video might be of help to you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLX0CjMO-Q
>>21774940What did I misread?
>>21774941Just work on those reading comprehension skills. You'll get there, eventually.
>>21774942So nothing. Work on not being a passive-aggressive pussy. Last (You) you'll get, retard.
>>217749422025 4chan is littered with ESL thirdiesmany such cases
>>21774062Based lidl enjoyer. Their cherry pastry is divine
Artisan bread can be repurposed and it usually becomes bread pudding. Or in Mexican and Mexican themed grocery stores and bakeries its turned into a type of pan dulce called a piedra (rock).
>>21774947baker-gatekeeper here: this is only my second post itt, you're an absolute tard, learn to read lmaooo
I'm on /ck/ so I bake my own bread. I have a breadmaking machine for when I'm lazy but usually I'll make sourdough. Anyone that buys a bread in a supermarket should just commit sudoku with overdosing on soy
>>21773603Lol yah, I love how easily people get themselves scammed. Bread is hot, must be fresh kekThey'll walk into a bakery that has 150 pastry options and somehow actually believe this was just made tonight by the baker instead of just imported from the factory.People are so fucking stupid, it's unreal
>>21774194Kill all vegans
