"Factory" bread can be "disgusting" because it's made to feed the masses and gain market share, not taste good. For the same reason hamburgers at McDonald's are not as good as those made at a quality restaurant or at home.
Good bread, as with any good food, typically takes time and quality ingredients. You won't find that in mass produced food. That costs too much.
- thatfrenchguy 7y agoI don't know, bread is literally cheaper and better-tasting in France (and many other countries).

- kcorbitt 7y agoGood, fresh bread can be produced cheaply. When I lived in Spain I could buy a large, fresh, delicious baguette on almost any street corner for about $0.55. The problem is that after about 24 hours it gets hard and after 48 it's basically inedible. So your diet needs to include a lot of bread or else you end up wasting a fair portion of every purchase.
- sureaboutthis 7y agoYep. That's what I've heard. I bake sourdough and other breads every other day at home but baguettes are one bread I have not been able to get right yet though I haven't spent enough time trying to figure it out. I know there must be one simple step I'm not doing or doing wrong.
