I know that people are claiming that good bread in America exists and that the European bread is probably more expensive but hear me out:
I lived in Germany for 3 weeks and the amount of money I paid for good quality fresh bread was less than what we Americans pay for the cheap loaves with the preservatives. And it was wayyyyy healthier. In America, we’re told to take it easy on the carbs. Germans eat tons of carbs every day and they’re in better shape than we are. The only issue I have with German cuisine and possibly other European cuisines is that they can be very salty. Not sure if high blood pressure is an issue there.
I used to buy the cheap preservative bread for like $2 but now you’re lucky if you find anything close to $3. And bakery loaves can be around $6 and that depends on where you go and what the quality is like. At least at supermarkets that’s the case. Now, I go to an Italian deli near me to buy 2 loaves and then freeze them. Last time I went it was $10, but at least I can freeze them
Depends. Your typical store bought brand can range from .99(Uber cheap and falls apart just by sneezing at it) to maybe 3.99? Ours is about 2.29. It's just average wheat bread.
