I'm not even sure what ground up bones would do for bread. Is calcium a binding agent or something?

I looked it up because i also always wondered. Turns out bone marrow can replace the butter used to make bread

But.. you don't use butter to make bread. Flour and water, maybe some yeast. If you're using butter to make dough, then it's some kind of pastry.

I mean you can definitely use butter in a bread, it's just not required

In addition, just hear me out: It is giant's bread.

you need fat to make toast bread, what a lot of americans and people in the west default to imagining when you say "bread".

the fat prevents longer gluten chains from forming, which makes the bread light and airy, compared to traditional "proper" bread which tends to be denser and chewier and oh no now i'm hankering for levain

As an American, what the fuck is toast bread?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

bread you put in a toaster? or do you people put baguettes in your toasters?

Yeah, certainly there are many different kinds of bread. I'm sure I was overly broad in designating all dough made with butter as pastry. I was responding to the previous comment , which I interpreted as implying that butter(or bonemeal, in a pinch) is a necessary ingredient in bread.
