You don't need to add sugar to bread dough to make it rise. It just takes a little longer without it since the yeast will have to process starch instead of just fermenting pure sugars.

Correct. I made a loaf of Pane Rustico morning from dough I made at about 9pm last night with only 1/4 teaspoon of yeast, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to 5 cups of flour. So, you don't need gobs of either ingredient, it'll just take it 12 hours to rise.



Yeah, those are some home made soft pretzels too (I started with 2 dozen, and they only lasted about 6 hours).

That's wrong!
Aside from riling the yeast up so the dough rises faster/higher, proofing the yeast with a little bit of sugar also lets you know right away if your yeast is dead rather than waiting futilely for dough that's not going to rise.

When you 'butter' bread you use a thin scraping, not slather it like you do mayo. Unless you're my mum.
Also very few people nowadays use actual butter as opposed to 'low fat spread' or whatever the name is.

Who ever said anything about "slathering" anything with mayo? That's almost as stupid as somebody thinking you put cubes of butter on the bread

People have some weird misconceptions about the way others eat food in this thread.

My hamburgers are made with a grilled cheese sandwich (cheese toasty for you dirty furners) for each bun. It goes (bottom to top) grilled cheese sandwich, 2 pound hamburger patty, bacon, onion rings and then topped with another grilled cheese sandwich. Then the whole thing is wrapped in bacon and battered and deep fried in pure unfiltered corn oil and bald eagle tears. :fsmug:

Edible Growthp is an ongoing project by Eindhoven-based food designer Chloé Rutzerveld that blends food, gardening, and 3d printing.



The concept involves a specially printed outer casing made from dough that contains “edible soil” and various seeds.




Once printed, it takes a few days for the seeds and mushrooms to germinate after which they start to poke out of the small holes on top. All that’s left to do is pop it in your mouth.



Rutzerveld’s design is currently just a concept and would involve several years of research, namely around 3d printing technology and issues of food safety. Regardless, it seems like the rest of the project would be fun just to try at home for the sake of novelty. You can read more about Edible Growth on Rutzerveld’s website.

This is awesome.

Asian countries have their own bread-like staple foods which are not sweet at all. They also have a specific genre of food called "what people in Asia think Americans eat". If you only shop/eat at places that cater to expats/sex tourists guess which one you are going to encounter?

Yeah but seriously bread in Japan is loving awful. They have this whole type of bread called pan that's everywhere and really sweet, usually deep fried. I'd almost say it's more along the lines of a pastry than a bread but people there treat it like bread.

"Pan" just means "bread" (from the Portuguese) and is the catch-all word for any bread product you can get from a bakery, the majority of which is what we'd probably call "buns" or "rolls," sweet or otherwise. It's not always sweet and certainly not always deep fried. Curry pan is, though; that's kind of a curry piroshki breaded in panko and fried. (Delicious, when fresh.)



"Shokupan" ("eating bread") is the stuff that comes in loaves and is usually a sweeter variation on a white Pullman loaf, often sliced super thick. Upon eating a slice of Japanese toast, my son commented that the Japanese must have really huge mouths.



It also is loving fantastic toasted with butter or corn mayo, though I realize this last variation probably belongs in this thread:



Toasted, it's crispy on the outside and pull-apart soft on the inside.

Even an unabashed fan of shokupan (and garlic) like me draws the line at some of the things they do to it, though.



This is a five-inch-tall hunk of white bread diced into chunks and done up with garlic butter. Then there's the sweet variation, of which this (the top Japanese GIS for "karaoke dessert") is an extremely tame example:



See much worse here.
