What is your favorite type of bread?

Flaxseed Rye Bread

[MrWizard]

Hmmm, difficult choice:

- Homemade soda bread
- Challah (Jew bread made from egg yolks, 1000x better than regular bread)
- Rye Bread - mmmmm montreal smoked meat on rye.

How to eat baguettes?

I usually get them from Costco. What we usually do is cut them diagonally, usually .5inch thick, drizzle with oil and slightly toast on a frying pan. But I don't get the true taste of the bread.

Any other reccomendations?

[porphyra]

Fresh Tandoori Roti and Naan
Parantha
Roasted garlic and rosemary bread
Injeera
Real french/italian bakery breads (gotta find an authentic immigrant mom-pop store for these)

[Sajjad]

When you buy a loaf of bread, do you immeditaly refridgerate it or do you leave it out for a couple of days.

[teknoluv]

Cheddar cheese bread from Loblaws.

[chunkylover53]

Malaysian roti - way better than traditional Indian roti and naan, IMO.

[shadomoon]

- Ace Bakery breads but especially their cranberry foccaccia bun
- naan straight from the tandoori
- onion bread from Silverstein's bakery (straight out of the oven)

Do the chinese buns from Yung Sing bakery count?

[UrbanPoet]

trini style roti.
West indian style you know wrapped up with Curry Duck or Chicken. or even better.. BOneless goat :-0

the Malaysian style roti is good too... the one with duck and sweet sauce. I hate this at a resturant.

[Anessa]

[trini]

Sexcellent Thread!

Urban got it right Roti to the max, hot off the tawah everything else run second.

For those who have never tried curried duck you have not lived and all the food tv you watch won't make up for that.

A good hot hops most asians may know it by some other name though with some black/blood pudding or just plain butter.

I dont like the european breads that leave your mouth bruised and bloody.

Thuet whom i am not too fond of makes the best bread in TO mind you the water and flour is the secret.

[wiggy]

Different breads for different applications.

Raisin bread for making French toast.
Sweet and sour rye with salami or pastrami.
Coarse grainy rye with liverwurst.
Pitas, baguettes, challa, kaisers, bagels, naan, flatbreads. Mmmm.

Now why in the world would you want to pick just one? :)

[tienm23]

Crusty portaguese buns....

[duckdown]

Can someone tell me what they use to get those NAAN cookers hot?

A friend of mine (Not saying this to be silly) said that they use cow dung

Is that true.. It's a really common source of natural fuel

[porphyra]

Traditionally Naans are cooked in the Tandoor. The deep design and clay construction ensures that heat is well trapped inside and hence the high temperatures.

Cow dung is not used except in rural villages etc. In the city its usually high quality coal and/or wood. The guy running the tandoor also makes sure that the wood/coal is getting ample oxygen so that it doesn't start smoking and remains burning well. There is a small amout of smoke regardless which gives the food the characteristic tandoori smoky flavour, which is impossible to duplicate in other cooking appliances.

I've said and explained this over and over again.

Here you go Kirk
I'm with Canabiz on the value of Indian versus Chinese/Viet, in fact I would put Indian and Thai in the same category - pricey and small quantity..........

Clearly You know nothing about food..........

Indian Cuisene is a cut above the rest Authentic might i add think about all the chinese who operate So called Japanese Restaurants its not Japanese you really eating.


A Little Detail i should mention, A Tandoori oven's Flavour cannot be replicated, it takes an extremely high skill level to operate it as a matter of fact one can only operate a Tanddor for 9 years Max and usually they have 2-3 people taking 30 min shifts operating it reason being it is so hot the operators eye balls get cooked try to imagine that.
It can cook a whole chicken well done in 5 minutes or less.
The more a Tandoor is used the better its taste and the better tempered it becomes there is nothign hotter or more effecient than it.
Alot of so called Tandoori recipes are "oven" made which is not the same.
It's been around way longer than most chinese cuisine out there.

Another thing is fine dining portions are different from fast food dining bear that in mind.
