Heyo!
Struggling to come up with any information on the matter, I suppose its because it varies from how places make their different bread types - BUT
In your experience - what bread comes out super airy, light slices? Looking for one with ALOT of air bubbles and big bubbles - but not actual holes
Its my guilty pleasure but really struggling to find a good one :(!
Thanks in advance <3
Not sure if I do! gonna need to put some effort into checking, thanks tho!
The cheapest bread should be the airiest.
ehhh….
Super non ozbargain mindset given the price
But Pioik in Sydney probably makes the best bread. It supplies some of the top restaurants in Sydney.
Their ciabatta loaf for $10 or focaccia loaf for $16 will not disappoint
For bread to have a great crumb structure you need to spend a lot of time perfecting your bread recipe and the bread preparation. Most commercial bakeries won't make excellent bread because of monetary and time constraints. If you want good bread, you have to be willing to spend money.
Other places that make reasonable bread
This guy breads.
I love Iggy's bread, but am rarely over in the eastern suburbs.
If you consider Iggy's to be just "reasonable", how much better is pioik?
I will also need to try your other suggestions - thanks for the tips!
Iggy's sourdough is great, but a classic sourdough loaf isn't my favourite bread to have and I didn't love their other non sourdough offerings. Personal preference really. But their sourdough is up there.
Overall I really do think Pioik's foccacia and ciabatta are special. Worth a trip. Their sourdough is also quite good but I can't make a direct comparison for connoisseurs of sourdough.
Japanese milk bread
If its white, its right
white bread power?
Their cheapest white bread is surprisingly fluffy, empty calories have never been tastier
erm , not quite what I meant. but sure.
ALL bread matters.
Vietnamese bread! I don't like dense bread so I always go to a Vietnamese bakery for my bread rolls.
Try making them at home? There are lots of forums to get you started. It will be trial and error but you will get there. It is time and effort and at least you will know what goes in them. Try french bakers/recipes, they make the best bread, IMO.
Or a bread maker machine.
Some of the best bread I've had has been from a bread maker, soft and airy on the inside with a crunchy crust.
Ciabatta 'should' be. Half the filling falls through, there are so many air holes.
Loven bakery had some pretty soft stuff
Vietnamese bread, very light and airy.
Vietnamese restaurant near us makes pork-belly and Vietnamese salad rolls, they are not like normal white bread rolls, but semi flaky and porous like ciabatta while remaining super light and fluffy.
do you have a Japanese grocery/supermarket nearby? Try their Bread, it's frozen but you couldnt tell once defrosted
