Why I Bake My Own Sandwich Bread Now
Store-bought bread always felt like a compromise—too soft, too bland, suspiciously shelf-stable. So last week, I finally tried baking my own sandwich bread. Was it a flawless, Instagram-worthy loaf? Absolutely not. The crust was uneven, and I may have set off the smoke alarm (twice). But the smell? Unreal. The first slice, still warm, slathered with butter, tasted like an apology for every mediocre sandwich I’ve ever eaten.
Turns out, making bread isn’t just about food. It’s about reclaiming a tiny piece of control in a world where everything feels pre-packaged and rushed. Plus, kneading dough is weirdly therapeutic—like stress ball therapy, but you get carbs at the end. If you’re tired of bread that tastes like cardboard, give homemade a shot. Worst case, you get crumbs. Best case, you get a new obsession.
