YOUR LOAF IS HUGE!

The answer to your question is in the foreground of your picture. You slice them up, you eat them with oil and spices. There's no secret here, just deliciousness

>>12161248
that bread has 1/2 the calories of supermarket bread

>>12161248
who the fuck is paying nearly $4 for bread. historically you would have got bread of this quality for dirt cheap. I wish i could open a bakery operating under the business model of low price high quantity and watch all these hipster bakeries cry.

Explain

I was expecting them to cost way more, because of the 'artisian' gimmick.

There's this brand in my area called Dave's that charges five fucking dollars for a regular ass loaf of whole grain bread. No idea how they stay in business.

If it's anything like ciabatta the crumb has huge air pockets so it's nowhere near as dense as regular bread.

>>12161470
Open crumb and more air; dramatically fewer ingredients as most bread only has FIVE if it's not from a supermarket. If it's a sourdough or any bread with a cultured agent, it's actually dramatically easier for your body to absorb and process the wheat in it due to chemical changes. Sourdough and other fermented bread products are significantly healthier for you in every way.

Ciabatta is the king of breads.

>>12161495
Says who

>>12161306
-rip and tear and rip and TEAR AND RIP AND TEAR YOUR CRUST! YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE BIG CRUST! RIP AND TEAR!

>>12161248
Eat them, what the fuck do you think, retard?

>>12161547
Said >>12161478 weren't you paying attention?

as much as I don't want to elevate reddit I doubt very much any of them have ever asked what people do with bread

>>12161323
$4 isn’t that much desu

>>12161323
>nearly $4 for bread
>$4 for 2 lbs of good bread
>supermarket nigger brand shit loaf costs $1 for 1lb or less
>Sara Lee and other brand name loaves cost $4 for 1lb or less
It's already not expensive and for good quality it's a steal. Gtfo of here poorfag.

>>12161323
And you would fail or bitch and moan about being poor. Dumb faggot

>>12161668
this guy gets it

>>12161323
An early (1790s) British welfare law, the Speenhamland system, established a weekly minimum wage of 3.9kg loaves of poor-quality bread for a single man (and also added a loaf and a half per dependent.)

This was considered an improvement in his pay.

So even assuming a workday of equal length, a worker paid now by that standard would, at this baker, be paying $96.67 for 3.9kg of bread, or around $22.50 per loaf of calabrese. Bread's dirt-cheap now. (In large part because modern wheat yields dozens of seeds per seed planted, rather than a few in the Renaissance or as low as 2 in medieval times.)

>>12161690
Three 3.9kg loaves, even.

Italian here. I usually buy Pane di Genzano (basically a ciabatta style bread) at my local grocery, asking for a welk cooked, crunchy piece. It costs € 1.80 per Kg. The ingredients are just flour, salt, water and yeast Usually, a big loaf costs ca € 3 per piece and last me all week long (for me and my girlfriend).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSzQfSDDIL8 The New Yorker has a really good bread episode actualy, and in it they discuss the health benefits of eating good bread vs supermarket

>>12161271
lofe are peoble to!

>>12161248

>>12161711
I last all week long for your girlfriend

>>12161323
You would fail. Make ok bread for $8 and target some retarded hipster. Your bread will be better, it's more expensive so it taste way better.

>>12161717
>Did I wander into /biz/?

maybe you should wander into a school and learn to read what i said bitch.

>>12161777
>Your bread will be better, it's more expensive so it taste way better.

i bet you think expensive wine is automatically better than cheaper wine too. lmao.

>>12161914
he's not alone which is why your retard business won't work

>>12161711
Why do euroniggers think bland and boring is something to be proud of? It's like German beer that jerks itself off over following the purity law and only having the four ingredients. Pass! Already know what it's gonna taste like.

>>12161516
King's Potato bread and buttermilk would like to have a word with you shitbatta

>>12161668
No shit. Around here good bread is $6-10. And I'm not even in an expensive market.

>>12161283
>Some people have friends and family, anon.

>>12161283
I don't like you very much

>>12161323
I expect a ton of it goes in the dumpster (none for you, wagey) since I have never in my life gotten hipster whole foods stuff in a food bank package.
The mark-up in price no doubt offsets the inherent shrink.

>>12162110
This is bait.

>>12162221
You know, now that you mention it, I've volunteered at a food bank forever and do most of my non-Asian shopping at ding-and-dent stores, and the only time I've ever seen anything Whole Foods-branded other than when I went to splurge on the deli was a single shipment of prepacked spice mixes. Can't imagine how much good food gets pitched, even with the recycling for the hot foods department that has to happen.

(Also, I have mediocre ras-el-hanout for life now, after no one took it. I assuaged my guilt by waiting a couple weeks for any bites and then replacing it 1-for-1 with loaves from Freihofer's outlet.)
