I listen to an Australian podcast and they talked about how sweet our bread is. Apparently, there’s a ton of sugar in it that we’re / I’m just used to. Dunno if that’s in the 12 grain bread that I buy. Maybe it’s only white bread? I haven’t checked the label.

Most American bread has sugar added to it, even the 'healthy' stuff.

When I was trying to switch to healthier breads, I tried a Pepperidge Farm bread once. It was so sweet, it was like eating brioche, but it was marketed as just normal standard bread. Absolutely disgusting. I don't buy that brand anymore at all.

Not sure why Pepperidge Farm struck you as the healthy brand. Only real way to know is to check the nutrition label and ingredients yourself.

I've started buying sub rolls from a local bakery to make sandwiches. Recently I didn't have any, so I used store-bought sliced bread.

They're right. The bread is so soft and sweet it was like eating a ham sandwich made with two slices of cake.

Australian bread is very different to US bread. Aussie bread (especially white bread) almost always has no added sugar, and it's usually light and fluffy, not dense like some US bread. Even the cheapest supermarket brand bread in Australia is better than a lot of the expensive breads in the US.

As an Aussie living in the USA, it's been hard to find good bread here. I get sourdough these days, which is good enough.

Surprisingly, one of the better white breads I've tried is from Walmart. It's in their bakery, labeled as "English toasting bread". Bread labeled as "Italian bread" is often decent, too.

The best bread is from bakeries of course, but they're not as widespread as in Australia where we have bakeries everywhere.

Jessica's Brick oven. Tuscan Pane is my favorite. You'll never look back.
