a gluten-free thread, deb?

homemade variety I make this week. I'm a fan of bread made in the dutch oven and I like easy varieties, so I'll say some kind of rustic Italian for now.

n/t

Extra sourdough bread

With pistachio butter, blueberry jam or orange marmalade

Potato bread.

Sourdough or a hearty homemade sandwich loaf or rustic Italian and bagels of course.

Most anything but fluffy sliced white bread.

dip the bread in and eat. Yummy.

😓

After getting used to that thickness, any other bread is just too much. And heaven help me, I don't like any of that whole wheat/whole grain/blah blah blah "healthy" stuff. The taste is off-putting.

My very favorite was my dad's homemade bread. Sadly, I didn't inherit the gene. I tried making cinnamon rolls one time, but the NHL called and wanted them so they could use them for hockey pucks.

I bake all our bread and have been keeping a starter going for at least seven years.

Preferably Trader Joe's Tuscan sourdough.

Gimme some bread, man!

Slap me some skin!

Also love a toasted baguette and whole wheat.

Eating a hamburger on toasted rye, now.

I buy it from a local bakery. Makes nice golden toast.

My favorite sandwich bread is from Lewis Bakeries. They make various breads in what they call Half Loaf. It is what it sounds - half the size of a regular loaf of bread. My favorite from this company is called Nutty Oat bread. It has little chips of nuts. Delicious. Not all of the grocery stores I frequent carry this brand.

On my trip to the grocery a couple days ago they were out. Empty shelf where half loaf Nutty Oat bread should be. Oh no! I only have a few slices left. I am so disappointed. I resolved that I need to stock up the next time, buy 4 or 5 loaves and put some in the freezer.

She died in 1974.

I even use whole wheat pasta

I love pumpernickel, especially pumpernickel bagels are one of my favorites. I'm a bread person.

Mutigrain is my favorite.

Grilled swiss, yummy!

Martin's

Both crackers and bread.

Made from scratch, never sees a biscuit cutter. Baked in a greased cake pan with sides touching. Crusty outside, fluffy inside. The biscuit to use with sausage gravy! Also good with chicken gravy, or with butter and jelly or butter and syrup. The bread to use for breakfast sammiches, and can also be used as dinner rolls.

almost every day. We were told to ask for the "ancien baguette" (old time baguette). It was wonderful.

Toasted with a schemer of cream cheese or butter
Or
Toasted and cut up and tossed in a salad
Or
Untoasted with a light drizzle of honey
Or
Grilled Gruyère cheese sangwich.

Pepperidge Farms Deli Swirl Rye Bread is what I usually get. It is an excellent bread. Another bread that is "Top Shelf" is 12 grain at Aldis. This is a nice heavier bread that is ideal for honey, peanut butter, or jams. Old fashioned real bread. But my all-time Favorite is the buck-a-loaf Italian Bread that Walmart sells. The expiration date is only a day or two out, but it is great out of the wrapper or toasted with a bit of butter. The only problem is that it is Very Easy to make a Pig of Yourself and eat way too many slices.

I love ciabatta, and I love baking rye breads.

But kidding aside, I like whole wheat bread. There were two types of bread I liked in Germany. One was sweet bread in which the bread was rolled into two long lengths and then twisted together. The other is Hunsrück bread which is a local type of bread made in the Rhineland-Palatinate area of Germany. It's a round, black, coarse bread and it's delicious.

Turano Rustic Italian, great for BLTs and Turano Rustic Rye which is perfect for roast beef,
ham or corned beef sandwiches. They also make great toast.

Plain, or poppy seed bagel! Eaten by themselves or some kind of cream cheese.

And a Rustic Country White, or Dark Pumpernickel for grilled cheese!
