[Food] Sourdough

[wellquickwoody]

Sourdough toast is overrated, like eating burnt cardboard. And why is it that cafes that serve it do not offer any other options? Bread Nazis. There, said it, feel better now

Bob’s soda bread from Hamper’s in Hurstpierpoint is to die for!

I’m with you, no good un toasted no good toasted

You should only lightly toast sour dough bread.

Sigh. You think you know someone

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Here’s an example of optimally toasted sour dough bread, in my opinion of course.

 

[Birdie Boy]

I love sour dough bread toasted. I get a £1.20 loaf, slice it up and put it in the freezer and take it as needed. Lovely.

On the subject of bread, I’ve been buying milk bread recently, our local supermarket has started baking it fresh. It’s the perfect bread for a bacon sandwich.

 

[Professor Plum]

Bread philistines. Ugh. I make my own bread, including sourdough when I have time. It’s years since I bought any factory-made damp cardboard style, chemical-stuffed sliced supermarket junk.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

To be honest, the greater concern is what’s in that little pot. I always thought you were a real man?

We get our bread from local farmers market.

What on earth is that abomination? Doesn't look like decent sourdough to start with, and has it been deep fried after it was grilled?

It’s my dirty alto ego fighting through

What is this milk bread you talk of, i hope it’s made with man’s milk and not soy?

How much do you pay for the gluten free bread.?
£3 for a small loaf from our local bakery!

What's soda bread then Mr Expert?

I only heard about it a year or so ago. It sounds more grand than it actually is. In short it’s a soft squidgy white loaf which is the closest I have found to a decent UK white loaf. It originates from post war Asia apparently.

Germany can be a strange place at times, for all the different types of bread they sell (and it’s a lot), from my experience squidgy white bread is rare. Given their love of eating pigs, cured bacon is also rare. When I first moved here I used to make my own bacon. There’s now a Kiwi butcher who makes bacon you and me would recognize, and also banger style sausages, black and white pudding etc. It is delivered to my door by a lovely guy from Brighton.

To answer your question, “Typical ingredients include flour, whole milk, butter, yeast, salt, sugar and often eggs.” I’m sure there’s girls versions out there but I’m certain my supermarket used proper manly whole milk.

That sounds incredible

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

That sounds incredible

It is. And it really isn’t anything particularly special… in one sense it’s a plain old supermarket loaf. And perfect for a bacon sandwich.
