UK data, but I imagine there's a similar trend in other countries. Is bread dead? Do you eat less bread than you used to?
I still eat a decent amount of it but only with a considerable amount of healthy food just for it's texture. I'm not making sandwiches or toast anymore
Noah Anderson
I no longer buy bread at all. I just make it at home. it's a nice hobby, cheaper, and healthier. also tastes better
Julian Rivera
I fucking love bread and i vary the types of bread i eat a lot.
What if bread was made of meat? Like ham but shaped like... a loaf of bread! Haha, can you imagine that?
Parker Phillips
I hate you
Josiah Rogers
I just prefer to make my own.
Sebastian Flores
>Nobody buys bread anymore >42% of Britons eat bread on a daily basis
Asher Carter
I eat more bread now than I did 10 years ago. Sandwiches are the easiest thing to eat while on the job.
Evan Brown
I eat the same amount of bread I always have, but I don't eat it every day.
Angel Ross
I love you.
Sebastian Carter
I don't care about you
Jayden Collins
Doesnt brownies have bread in it?
Levi Ortiz
Once I get more sandwich meat i will
Parker Long
same, user. i've got some dough autolysing and a levain rising right now
Joshua Brown
I don't buy bread because I'll eat maybe 2-3 slices every once in a while and end up having to throw out the rest of the loaf cuz of mold.
Sometimes I go to the Japanese bakery and get that super soft white bread they have cuz they make for god tier pb&j sandwiches.
Luis Roberts
already been done
Ryan Stewart
I have the bread jew beat by making my own high gluten gaytisinal bread.
Colton Thomas
I eat way less bread but mostly because in the past I used to eat way too much of it. The shift is towards making healthier choices, not going with any current fads.
That said, I never buy bread. I make everything we need daily.
Benjamin Robinson
I stopped altogether simply because i have been eating bread every single fucking day snce i was conceived into this world and i am really bored of it.
Jose Price
Best reason to do anything.
>'Cause I cannot be arsed anymore.
And I genuinely mean that.
Adrian Moore
You don't need to tell me. My family has owned a bakery for 4 generations now (I'm the 4th). In the 80's,my dad would bake over 2,500 plain loaves on a Wednesday, now I get around 500 on an average Wednesday.
It sucks. Every year I see more and more of our customers closing shop and dying of old age. Add that to supermarkets trying to screw you over at every chance they get and other """bakeries"""" who serve disgusting mush bread full of preservatives and additives for 99c. At the rate it's going,I'll have to close my doors before I reach 50.
It sucks so fucking much. I want to go back to the times when people actually cared about bread
Levi Martinez
I eat a ton of (white) bread. It's one of the few things I can eat that won't make me ill.
Making bread is cool and fun. The problem I have with it, is that it costs less to just buy some when I'm already getting other things than it does to buy the ingredients and run my oven to bake it.
Lucas Sullivan
Damn that's sad :(
Kayden Harris
>it costs less to just buy some when I'm already getting other things than it does to buy the ingredients and run my oven to bake it
Wtf? Is your oven running on jet fuel? It costs @ $.30 for me to bake a loaf of bread in an electric oven and that's with an hour preheat.
Anthony Smith
The landscape is ready for a zero-carb bread alternative. I'm sure in the near future the market will be flooded by no-carb foods in the same way no-fat foods were everywhere a few years ago.
Ayden Young
bread makes my tummy hurt :(
Jordan Nelson
That sucks, man. I usually make my own, fairly basic bread, but I'd kill to have a good local bakery for breads/pastries beyond my skill level. Sadly, where I am, the choice is between 99c kitchen sponges, and overpriced hipster trash.
Christian Harris
And years from now, the inevitable pro-carb backlash. Will fat get demonized again? Maybe protein?
Jaxson Young
Protein is the next one in line. Now they put protein in everything just the way they replaced fat with carbs.
The same way we now see pancreas/insulin resistance issues in form of diabetes from carb abuse, we will soon see kidney issues and fatty liver from protein abuse.
Andrew Rodriguez
canuck here
bread is pretty expensive and adds very little to the meals I usually have. I'm reservist military and when i get shipped off to the coasts where bread is free, i dont even have it then. it's just filler, but it's 2017 -- things like more hash browns or baked beans are just as cheap, just as quick, and are more flavorful and have more nutritional content. bread is useful to have on hand but not as useful as other things in its price range
>Will fat get demonized again? it already is > Maybe protein? I've already heard rumblings from fitter types who say excess protein just gets shit out and that going past what you're using in SICC GAINZ is a waste to process, so maybe, actually.
my sister is actually celiac and still eats pasta lmao she says that it's worth it to eat wheat gluteny foods sometimes because they're just too goddamn delicious, and the terrible shits and stomach pains are worth it
i dont disagree, if i had to make a last meal, it'd probably be some nice thicc french toast
Justin King
The little bakery in my rusted-out hometown remodeled the place to have some table space and started serving coffee and sandwiches made with the bread ("Like it? Take a loaf home, etc.") and they're thriving. Not sure how much this applies to your specific situation, but if you're willing to be the kinda-kitschy independent coffee and pastry and bread joint then white people will make an institution out of you.
Wyatt Rodriguez
just freeze it retard
I make my own bread
Aaron Ross
You've got to diversify and market better, buddy. You're in a business. You've got to find a way to compete. Make a thread on here about it and see what ideas Veeky Forums can offer.
Joseph Parker
make more pastry bread was popular because of market force, not because bread is good. the market forces have changed. find what people are buying from bakeries now.
Prepared meals like containers of soup or salad are a HUGE thing in jewish bakeries, and whitey today loves to go get a shitty roll with avocato slathered on it. i suggest taking a short vacation to somewhere trendy, and instead of getting mad at hipsters, just treat it like market research.
desserts are timless, too, as is the cafe atmosphere. like said, the rapport of a quick coffee and toast leading to a loaf of bread is easy to build and yet invaluable, and i can personally say that every morning in my later HS years I'd actually get up early and get to school late because I'd stop in for a black n' white cookie and a cup of hot chocolate or coffee on the way to homeroom.
I enjoy bread, but since I'm chubby I have no choice but to not eat it
except for pre-sliced white bread. That shit needs to go.
Leo Perez
I'll buy more bread at local bakeries user
Justin Bennett
>less white people >less bread sales woah
Ryder Reyes
>bread isn't an integral part of literally every culture on earth
t. american
Luke Green
I'm Canadian but I never said it wasn't integral. My house growing up always had bread for morning toast at least. It was one of my duties to buy fresh bread for my dad
Aiden Kelly
I haven't bought bread in ages. Not because of some dumb meme diet but simply because as a single guy living alone it's hard as fuck to go through an entire fucking loaf without the shit molding. I don't make sandwiches and toast daily so there's no real reason to buy this shit. Same goes for milk.
Kevin Bailey
the only bread i eat are tortillas or pita
Dylan Diaz
Bread freezes just fine and a single slice thaws in like 15 minutes or 2 minutes if you throw it in the toaster.
Lucas Lopez
how long before we see articles saying MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING THE BREAD INDUSTRY
Dominic Wilson
I meant the whole thing is ham but shaped like... a loaf of bread! Haha!
Ayden Flores
*eats my advocado toast*
Zachary Allen
I should really get into bread making.
Jayden Barnes
I eat tons of bread. All home made. bread from the super market is loaded with sugar and salt. Bread is actually extremely good for you, since it turns into glucose when digested, which is the primary energy source of the body.
Luis Cooper
You're obviously German. Believe it or not, but other countries somewhat suck at making bread. youtube.com/watch?v=8uZidkvdmNk
Lincoln Moore
uncut bagels freeze the best. i bake a ton then store them in the freezer in bags.
Dylan Flores
american store-bought bread tastes like a dessert, that's why I don't buy it much anymore
Luke Russell
I fucking love bread.
Luke Long
post bread porn baker user, I've ditched the cheap supermarket bread for real loaves and haven't looked back
Nathan Wilson
Here a seducing picture of Weltmeisterbrot (World Master Bread). It's the winning recipe of the world bakery championship thus the name. It's very harmonious collection of different tastes coming from various seeds used. It's somewhat bitter and sweet. It's very good with sausage, tomato and onion. However it's also very delicious with something sweet like Nutella. A bread that truly earned it's name. While it's very delicious, it's not a bread you eat everyday. Something that good you eat once in a while to reward yourself. Enjoy!
Jace Howard
>However it's also very delicious with something sweet like Nutella m8 you don't get bread if you'd put that shit on it. I've lost all respect for you.
Easton Thompson
I try to patronize most of the local bakeries, but I have been cutting back a bit on the carbs.
Lucas Johnson
How about this? This is best described as "daily bread". It often also got the name of the region, refered to as farmers bread or doesn't have a name at all an only got weight as desciptor. The taste varies also from region to region but usually the spices used are Fennel, Coriander, Anise and Caraway.
This Breat is super delicious when fresh. It's love spreading in your mouth and joy tiggleing your nose. It's slightly sour. This bread you usually eat with something on top. The most common topping is simple butter and variatons like with a bit of Chives or jam on top.
Jaxson Cruz
>not enjoying delicious bread any way you goddamn like get fucked commie
Landon Powell
>thinks I value "respect" from someone who hates on delicious food.
Aaron Davis
Someone just linked me this thread randomly because they though it was interesting, I never go to Veeky Forums but I have a question.
If low carb isn't actually healthier and a way to lose weight, what is? How do I eat healthier? I thought bread was bad for you.
Kevin Stewart
Bread makes you fat OP. And in 2017 its the 80/20 rule so no fat for me if I want to bang chicks.
Leo Cox
depends on total macros and glycemic index, you need some carbs if you're physically active, and gluten free is a mem unless legit celiac
white sandwich bread no, whole grain farmers bread yes
Wyatt Butler
Anyone got a shit-easy bread recipe that isn't a sourdough? For awhile I was making soda breads, but I got tired of the crust-interior ratio.
Jordan Nguyen
Bread is staple food and thus rich on energy. Because people don't burn energy like they used to, almost all classic food is hated on. They just make things up and say it's "unhealthy" but in reality they mean "It got more energy then you lazy fuck need, like basically all food but I'm not telling you that because I want to make shekels telling you to eat low value shit so you can handle you shitty lifestyle" or something like that.
Juan Roberts
Soooo, I just need to start running again and I can eat whatever?
The issue is I'm a lazy slob?
Brayden Parker
>Do you eat less bread than you used to? yes i'm restricting carbs feels good man i'm not doing it to lose weight, i'm not fat, i just don't like how heavy and bloated carbs make me feel, and i buy into the proposed anti-inflammatory effects of keto diets
Jason Taylor
Rougly two cups of weat flour, half a cup of slightly warm water, two teaspoons of salt, a fitting amount of yeast (a package of dry yeast or a block of fresh one). Mix it, kneat it. Let the dough rest under a pice of cloth to prevent it from drying out for an hour in room temperature and slightly warmer. Then kneat it again to let some air out, make a loaf and bake it at 480°F for around half an hour or until it's dark golden.
Viola, the most basic white bread that's still worlds more delicious than packaged white bread.
Liam Scott
Unless you have a medical condition and your doctor told your diet, yes as long as take care of your energy input/output you can eat whatever.
Evan Cook
too much yeast, not enough flour. a package of yeast is good for 6 cups of flour. cut the package in half for a small loaf like that and you're golden i guess. also i'd mix up the pack with a bit of sugar/water/flour and let stand for 10mins before adding the rest.
Adam Hill
Have you seen how much somebody like The Rock eats for his cheat meals?
Calories in Calories out, it's literally that simple
Luis Cruz
>If low carb isn't actually healthier and a way to lose weight, what is? How do I eat healthier? avoid fat. eat bean dishes (not baked beans, too much sugar) and bread.
Isaiah Long
Dude i got a 25lb bag of flower for 8 dollars. Starters are free, and salt is cheap now. Once you get rolling with it, it's actually very cheap. If you go no knead tier, it's fast too.
Andrew Hill
thank you. much like I can't eat anything that isn't a white bread. Pretty fucking terrible, so I'm always looking for something plain but good to eat.
Nathaniel Taylor
>traditioncuck getting blown the fuck out by T E C H N O LO GY
I bet you think a machine can't replicate "that human flavor" a.k.a. germs and mistakes.
Samuel Myers
It's backed. Anything related to germs dies when backed (and yes it might add to the flavor).
Austin Morales

Seriously nignog? Your parents should be slapped around and so should you.
Jackson Jackson
where did you get it? I've been making more and more breads myself and paying $2 for a small bag of flour has been putting me off making all of my bread myself.
Brandon Gutierrez
i only eat baguette now
Carson Hernandez
it's white bread with butter mixed in. put in olive oil instead, then it's ciabatta. that's all there is to it.
Parker Carter
i've got two loaves of partial rye/whole wheat sourdough proofing in the fridge, gonna bake them tomorrow.
Christopher Allen
Makes your house smell great too.
Alexander Allen
I eat half a loaf a week, that's down from the two loaves I used to eat myself when I was at school. And it's not like I'm cutting carbs as I still eat pasta and rice. I don't like how modern bread is mostly bubbles now, you can barely scrape butter on it now without tearing it apart.
This is incredibly sad, my village bakery also closed down last summer, old baker lady retired and son didn't see any future in continuing. It's sad that people can't support their local businesses before chain corporations, but I am no better. I used to buy a cream doughnut at my local bakery every Friday after school, but now I've only time to buy everything at once at Tesco. But I had recently discovered that a lot of my local "independent" bakeries all buy their goods from the same factory anyway, they don't make their own stuff anymore, so I don't feel so bad.
My suggestion is to look into getting your goods into shops like Spar. A lot of my local bakeries have expanded by doing this, making cakes and tarts and distributing them to local convenience stores that advertise that they sell local produce.
Zachary Thompson
Wow this is depressing. I'll admit I often just buy reduced supermarket bread and stick it in the freezer as I don't go through it that quickly.
Most of the bakeries around me in the UK seem to have latched on to the rise of the coffee shop which seems to have helped them.
Leo Sanchez
Imagine being this much of a niggerfaggot that you actually post something like this
Nolan Collins
bread still used in burger
Lucas Campbell
people are fickle, maybe the fake gluten allergies and no carbers will return to bread at some point down the line.

i do you fucking WHORE!
i bet you wont even sleep with me :(
YOU WHORE!!
but seriously i do love my bread. Even bought a bread maker. Because i actually go outside during my lunch and walk for an hr. or do a light jog. Im not lazy like 98.9% of my country. My cock also was not mutilated by the jewish overlords. I also am not going to die for the JEWNITED states of Israel.
T Lover of bread and olive oil. and balsamic vinegar.
