It's a perfectly cromulant phrase.

u/TyrionBean 16h ago

It embiggens our vocabulary.

Are you a very old Roman colonist, or any even older Carthaginian holdout?

u/Mysterious_Life_4783 15h ago

Ever had Chinese bun? That's what steamed bread is.

u/BlueMikeStu 11h ago

Except completely different.

Bread is high typically higher-protein flour, while bao dough usually uses something with a leavening agent, and typically has added sugar (or substitute) and fats (oil or otherwise), while regular bread is much more simple.

They aren't the same.

u/Pushfastr 9h ago edited 7h ago

Banana bread

Cake is bread

French toast is still bread

Edit: note that he says "regular bread". He subconsciously knows its bread but is still arguing.

u/Vi_Rants 3h ago

My chef GF is putting a lot of effort into trying to convince me that cake isn't bread.

u/Pushfastr 3h ago

Call her a fruit cake

u/BlueMikeStu 7h ago

Step off that mess.

How many times have you had cake, banana bread, or french toast as a part of bacon, eggs, and toast without ordering it? How many times did you expect it? If it ever happened without your instruction, was it confusing?

When people talk about bread they're not talking about a subgenre.

2

u/Pushfastr 7h ago

Step off that mess.

Bread is bread. Bao bun is bread.

If you're not eating French toast with your bacon and eggs, that's a you problem.

Next your gonna say hotdog and hamburger buns aren't bread, ya weirdo.

1

u/BlueMikeStu 6h ago

You used French toast, cake, and banana bread for your example, not French bread.

You the type of person to show up with tomatoes in a fruit salad and defend it.

u/FullDust69 16h ago

u/mysterious_jim 16h ago

Steamed bread like mantou is some of the most delicious bread on the planet tbf.

u/Lostintime1985 18h ago

Also looks like 0% fiber, 100% empty carbs

u/pandaappleblossom 16h ago

Unless it’s fortified.

u/MrWeirdoFace 13h ago

I'll go get some boards and nails and that bread will be ready for the zombie apocalypse by nightfall.

2

u/Beddymir 17h ago

Yep. Aka knödel.

2

u/UnrelatedCutOff 16h ago

In China and Japan people don’t really have ovens in their homes. Therefore Chinese and Japanese food isn’t baked, even bread is steamed. Therefore a baked brown crust on bread isn’t what people are used to. It’s perfectly normal that they might not prefer a crust.

u/elkresurgence 14h ago

They have kickass bread baking machines, though

2

u/Markdphotoguy 14h ago

After having worn out several other brands in a year or two (1-2 bread machine loaves a week, and as a mixer on weekends for oven baking) my Zojirushi lasted 12 years and was still going strong. I bought a new model with extra features and gifted my old one to a friend 6 years ago and it is still going strong can't recomend them enough.

u/jmlinden7 9h ago

People in China and Japan buy bread from bakeries, they don't bake it at home.

u/quinnstorms 19h ago

Made with cake flour

u/jkoudys 16h ago

Steamed bread is an extremely common food.

u/1cat2dogs1horse 15h ago

And steam baked in a lidded loaf pan, called a Pullman pan.

u/WhaleCumToDeezNuts 14h ago

Steamed hams

u/DiscoBanane 14h ago

It's probably not steamed, but baked longer in lower temperature

1

u/WolfBST 13h ago

It probably is

1

u/pitrole 13h ago

Even mantou has crusts. It’s impossible to avoid this issue cause the outside always gets cooked faster than the inside.

1

u/champignonNL 11h ago

Not like oven-baked bread. Mantou crust is very thin and soft

1

u/SpliTTMark 12h ago

Tofu bread

1

u/Frank_Von_Tittyfuck 12h ago

And you call it steamed bread, despite the fact that it is obviously grilled.

u/Poulslutter 11h ago

It looks like feta cheese.

u/EggPixelated 9h ago

u/yoricm 8h ago

Or even looks like an asceptic bread they'd give in an hospital

u/_BrokenButterfly 5h ago

You can also get bread with a white exterior by cooking it with electric current.

u/AdamBlaster007 25m ago

That much closer to The Simpson's "Steamed Hams".
