"Salt is about 2.5%"
Ok, dude has more experience with bread than I have with breathing.
Nice oneXD
When he said the salt content, I realized how much of an amateur bread consumer I was.
1k!!!
I mean, 2.5% is a really typical salt percentage for artisan breads
colavfreak2 hes just talkung any random numbers

I love how at the beginning, he knows which bread is more expensive, but he still pay so much respect and thankful for the cheaper bread because it's affordable for millions people. Such a wise gentleman.
this guy isnt a bread expert.. i guessed all the ones he did and guess what?? i am not a bread expert. i just have something called COMMON SENSE
@@sirspongadoodle Being able to spot which is better is only half of it, and expert can explain why it is better in detail
@@sirspongadoodle pretty sure everyone with cognitive ability can guess, but it takes way more to be an expert because theres more knowledge behind just guessing

I wonder what else he can smell

If you go back to the first loaf of bread, he smells the salt in the bread.

should one buy it?
@@blammmed Yes
I knew he looked familiar! I think my wife has one of his books

I love how the “focaccia” is literally a store bought pizza crust
Well, it's literally the predecessor of pizza
They are the roti of Western hemisphere
Don't buy it. Once you make it yourself, you'll realize how dumb you were before.
You're wrong 😁 focaccia and pizza are two different things (I'm Italian I know what I'm talking about) even when he said "pizza bianca" is not completely right because depends on where you are in Italy focaccia is different... we have many many different types of bread and pizzas even in southern Italy where pizza is born you can taste different types from place to place.. focaccia is typical of the north west of Italy (Liguria) there they produce the finest one :) one thing is certain, we don't usually prefer industial made bread because we still use to buy it at bakery.
@@nicolapellegrino1072 no i think they meant that the cheaper “focaccia” is just boboli (pizza crust) from the grocery store
I appreciate him taking time to note the importance of manufactured cheap bread. We all know artisan style breads taste better in every way, but mass produced bread has saved so many. Bless.
Has it, though?
fluffy girl, my thoughts exactly. Has it?
Modern agricultural practices, sure, have indeed saved millions. But "industrialized" bread is most common where food (wheat) is already plentiful, and in the process lots of useful nutrients get thrown out.
I can assure you that if I were starving, I wouldn't throw out 30% of the wheat (coincidentally, the most nutritious part).
@@fluffygirl1356 Yes it has, without mass producing food, poor people couldn't eat and would die or be near death. I don't know if it had saved millions, but mass producing food has saved a lot of people. And one was of the factors of getting rid of famine completely in western countries.
Jason Doe Although it has more nutrients, whole wheat is actually not healthier than white. The few vitamins able to be used by humans are not typically lacking. The rest aren’t even digestible. In addition, whole wheat is more expensive due to the density of white bread vs whole wheat. Lastly, the effect bread type has on you has been shown to be more reliant on the bacteria of your digestive tract rather than what ingredients you put in
My source is one scientific article by Myhrvold, (2017) so this finding may have been disproven in 2019.
@@nicholashe1198 I can attest, anecdotally, that whole wheat bread not only taste better, but is also a lot easier on my digestive track than white bread. So I'll stick with whole wheat.

I may not be an expert but I’m pretty sure the bread that looks more complicated is the better one.
Or the uglier
Yeah it’s not hard to tell at all
Right I literally guessed them all right truth is we’re all bread experts
That’s why I prefer the ones like coffee, tea, hot sauce, and the alcohol ones.
With most of these episodes you can immediately pick the more expensive one.
@@blankvideowatcher1273 you could guess it but can you explain why its more expensive?
**chews half a slice of bread**
“Maybe about 2% salt”
*Sniffs bread*
"Cinnamon, vanilla"
This guy looks like a flat earther
I know so precise lol
It was 2.5 %
And that's somewhat easy to taste. Most bread recipies demand about 2 % of the flour amount of salt. Myself I prefer 2.2%, just brings out the taste a little bit more for me. 2% is a bit sweeter.
But if someone bakes bread, and experiments around with the amount of salt a bit, it's easy to taste that difference. And he is called an expert after all.
Manuela Glavas 5Head
I completely can taste the bread just by listening to his explaination.
!!!!!
Americans watching this: Why in the world should anyone need to know this much about Bread?
Germans watching this: This guy is really good at hiding his German accent.
A proper bread is amazing, not anything like typical bread you get in USA and have to eat it with something
I feel so blessed to be able to pick up a wholegrain sourdough for only like 5€ / 7$ here in germany. Prices on proper bread in the US seem insane.

*Bites bread* “this dough was refrigerated for an hour”
Yeah this dudes a joke. Also he bites the one in the beginning and said Tastes like 2.5% salt
@@jonathannoble8190 My friend, as an artisan baker myself (amateur thought), after baking thousands of loaves you can definitely tell the salt percentage and hydration in any bread you eat. A 0.5% increase or decrease in the amount of salt is significant. Also, the hydration is easy to identify by the chewiness and crumb structure. The guy is not a joke - he is just an experienced baker. My point stands for any expert in any area - one could identify patterns that are impossible to identify by the untrained eye.
Lol don't mind Jonathan, he's a joke.
This whole comment section is a joke

This baker seems to have yeast thrown all over him unnaturally
“Ah yes, this bread has stretch marks due to the result of expanding while cooking, rather cheap I’d say”
Your watching this high ain’t you?
I can’t be the only one who wishes they would say how accurate the experts’ general guesses are, like when he guessed the salt amount or the alcohol experts guess the age. I imagine they’re right, and that would be so fun to learn!
THIS! This has to happen
"let me do a crumbparison"
😂Don't know if anyone else caught that, but I was laughing
Same lol😂😂
Just noticed that before reading the comment.
Same
I came here looking for this comment 😂
Yess 😂😂 That caught me off guard
Does anyone appreciate this guy's respect for industrial bred?
Людмила Шестакова yes!
Of course!
It's all very well to talk about nutrition, but that's still a secondary concern to families in starvation.
Anything would do. And bread was filling. 💖
Yes bred right you spelled
Yes! So much. Came to see who else commented this.
Onigiree i agree with your point, but there are starving families with a huge amount of food but are dying because they arent receiving proper nutrients
the “saved many people from starvation” rly hit me hard
Give this man some water
Most of these I swear you can tell just by looking at them
i knew them all lol its so easy
With many of these it is easy to see the difference, but I think it’s mostly about understanding what makes them more expensive than a factory produced item
Came here just for this comment. I appreciate his knowledge but it’s so obvious which bread would cost more just by the appearance.
Why do darker loafs of bread look more expensive? That's racist 😂
All*
Yes most of us can tell which is more expensive but I doubt any of us could give as much detail as to why it is more expensive and what to look for like this guy did.
Listening to him talk about salt percentages and acidity levels is pretty impressive.
Well maybe if you are living in a country wich hasnt a big bread cultrue that would be true, but honestly he hasnt told me that much more than that i already know (we are a little bit crazy here in germany about bread)
I can tell which ones are the cheap ones because I buy the cheapest 🍞 I can find 😆
Eragon Shur'tugal i agree ..it's the same in greece (and most places in europe i'd say ...)
@@eragonshurtugal4239 that's pretty cool!
He is also mostly complimentary on the cheaper bread. I appreciate that he is not a snob and realizes that a vast majority of people cannot afford to pay $11 for a loaf of bread!
You would pay $2.50 for a bread like that one in France, the margins have to be insane
*gets a whiff of a breadcrumb*
Ah yes, the baker is 45 years old, probably of north-western european heritage, his wife is a teacher and they live in an medium class 1500 sq feet house in the suburbs of Jacksonville, Florida. Classic.
I love that he was so kind and understanding about the "Bad" white bread in the beginning. I remember having to eat sandwiches almost exclusively as a child on very cheap bread. I can't imagine what I would have had to eat without it.
Exactly, one can be sophisticated, but not patronizing,
Who doesn’t eat industrial bread In their sandwiches?-
It's basically the same as rice in South East too

@@Sarawarawara- Italians😂
I love the fact that he isn’t bashing it because it’s cheap, and he also acknowledges that processed foods (albeit detrimental to your health long term) has saved ppl from starving. We love a socially conscious ....bread expert 😅 👍🏾
I was going to comment something similar but you said it perfectly.
@@arianachristinacarranza3468 all of the experts in this series are so respectful of the cheaper options 😁
Even the bread experts probably keep a basic loaf of hovis nearby it's incredibly convenient I actually really like the Warburtons brand in the UK it's basic but has more flavor than most.
True, but here (and in many other places) you can buy better industrial bread than that though. ;)
(about 1,2€ for 800g so 1,5€/kg including taxes ofcourse)
Eric P that’s exactly my thought, he’s a an expert that understands that at the end of the day it’s bread
I like that guy, he seems really honest and his opinion aren't biased. He's a rare breed of humble specialists
I like that he still has appreciation for low-cost, mass-market bread and understands why it exists and why some people eat it.
"That is so foul.......but I can see how some people might enjoy it."
He's so nice even when he's throwing shade.

That looks like Hawaiian rolls but bread
Can never go wrong with Subway bread 😂
@@LilFuzzyMuzzy Chemical bread
as someone who worked at subway and made god knows how many of those breads, can confirm
This epicurious series has really been an educational tour for me with regards to appreciating the food we eat, i feel like a connoiseur with all the knowledhe and points emphasized on each food. I doubt anyone can simply be an expert without really being or having experienced in the production of the food and beverage. Only way you can identify is if you were to recreate it yourself
A crazy amount of bread knowledge aside, it was really easy to guess which was the expensive one every single time in this episode compared to many of the others.
I love how he acts all surprised when he gets it right as if he isn't an absolute genius when it comes to bread
That's okay with me because i feel he's not that self-righteous being "bread expert". It's weird though i found so many people who don't know what they're doing and claimed they're experienced/expert in that particular field.
The dickeating is wild
or its just obvious
Or... he knows beforehand and this is a heavily edited studio made content...
Not saying he's not an expert and he's not genuine, but this kind of channels are as close to TV you can get on CZcams.

It's amazing how every expert brought on for this stuff is actually an expert and has a passion for ALL things they are experts in. They don't outright express the fact the cheaper stuff is bad and they always list pros to the cheaper stuff. Most of the time they arent perfectionists and and snobby about the stuff. You can tell they appreciate all the stuff they are presented with.
Unlike buzzfeed where they just get random people from their office lmao
Dude so true! They always say stuff like “I like this one much more but that’s my personal preference and I can understand the reasoning behind liking the other.”
Yeah and on the ice cream one the lady even said that one of the more expensive ones was trying too hard and didn't taste as good as the cheaper version. I thought that was awesome.
Cheaper doesn't mean worse in all cases.
Goliath Absolutely correct. Also on this show, cheaper doesn't allways mean cheap, like here at the whole grain comparation, both breads there where amazing.
I liked this guy within the first few seconds because he admitted what we never think of in the industrial world, which is that cheaper industrial made products like white bread have a purpose because they offer millions of people both in our own countries and others affordable food products that meet their dietary and budgetary needs. Not everyone can afford organic, not everyone can afford artisan, and we should always remember that.

@@felixfortinbras3897 that's honestly what I thought
they sell those kind of white bread at the market. i work at subway and we actually let our bread rise before baking it, and the color is more golden. also i think to just order a plain 12inch white bread at subway would cost at least 8$, so it would make more sense for them to pay for the one that cost 0.90 cents lol
as an ex subway employee, as soon as i saw the .90 cent loaf, i said "that's italian subway bread" 😂🤦🏻♀️
Ellie Velvet Subway would charge more for the bread than for a fully-loaded sandwich‽

It sounds like thr Clash of Clans backround music
glad he's at least being reasonable with mass produced bread while being passionate about expensive bread
John Michael McAwesome The thing I like about the show is that most of these experts are still reasonable with the cheap bread. I mean some of the episodes the expert downright loves the cheaper item as well as the more expensive items.
He's not some bread elitist.
I mean, they don't need to do a masterchef-y type of critique. They are experts keeping things honest and real. :)
You could tell he had a hard time with the Boboli though (the last one) he went so far as to call it foul. Pretty funny reaction.
I mean the cheap mass-produced bread are necessary and unique anyways. Not everyone wants their bread hard, crackly and uneven.
That first one had to have been a joke. The one bread was a subway loaf.

You guys always bring on the best people you can, they all seem so in love with there craft and expertise it genuinely makes me smile while watching someone talk about bread.
As an Italian, that schiacciata looks pretty damn amazing even for our local standards. Respect to whoever is delivering that level of quality in the US
Germans know it better tho ;) Germany has the best damn bread in the world lads
And guess what, I'm half German half Italian
Agree. Even for the standards of southern France it looks pretty damn good (remember, here we are very similar to Italy culturally so many of the things you find there you can find it here, plus a VERY big chunk of the population, including me, has Italian ancestry dating from less than a century ago, so lots of expertise was exchanged that way)
It looked really really nice and it made me want to eat some
They probably found a local Baker there are some people here like me who are obsessed with bread
Regardless that’s a damn good price for that bread
@@Anudorini-Talah Tastes... It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to bread there's so much variety around the world it's pretty easy to stumble upon a style you have never tried and that might steal the spotlight to your current favorite
“that is pretty foul”
“but i can see how some people might enjoy it”
gee.what a guy
15:00 - funniest moment I've ever seen in one of these Expert videos. Also, this was a hard one! Usually they're comparing a $80 something to a $10 something, but here the differences are just pennies in some cases!
Also, $5 for that prebaked pizza crust is criminal. Especially when you can get that amazing focaccia for just a dollar more!
It's funny how he's so interested in 2B's color. 😂 This is my favorite type of bread, you always have a couple different ones to choose from in a bakery here in Germany. The “cap“, the first piece with lot's of thick rind on it, is the best piece of the entire bread, nice fresh and crunchy it goes well with strong flavoured toppings like a stronger cheese, smoked bacon or liver sausage (my personal favorite).
You can get cheap bread in every supermarket and that's fine, but a proper nice tasty loaf of bread is worth the money. When bread stays good for a couple of weeks, I'm weirded out. I'm used to bread being off after a week. It tastes best day one and goes downhill from there. It's a fresh product. It doesn't just hold your toppings, it's an equally important part of the meal.

Bryan Kim Thanks! This confuses the hell out of me sometimes, haha
Seeing these people so passionate about what they do makes me question my career choices
I really appreciate that the experts will actually reason their way through why one is more expensive, even though the majority of time you can immediately tell which sample is more expensive with near one hundred percent certainty.
any one else not a bread expert but still able to guess which was more expensive based on appearance alone?
yes
I guessed them all before he explained what they are. Within seconds. I don't know anything about food
The "uglier" it looks, the better it is. But most people don't like it that style so the food industry does annything to make it look more appealing.
Yes, but the point of this show isn't to challenge an expert's skill. It is to explain what goes into a higher cost product vs a lower cost product in terms of ingredients and processes.
Anyone else see this comment on every price points video?
I love how he's not snobby about bread, even though it's his expertise. A lot of people would just dismiss the regular industrialized sandwich bread but he recognizes the enormous importance it had for the well being of the human race. Major props.
Except the "cheap" bread in the US is at the price of top quality bread in europe, and cheap bread in europe isn't that cheaper, and therefore not big of a market...

would be nice to see something about various fruits. most fruit today is utterly bland.
Only problem. I was not even a bread expert of really any expert of what they have made and I guessed 100% which one is the most expensive, mainly by just looking at it.
the answers were extremely obvious in this one but that isn't really what the show is about. it is a fun way to learn about different foods in a way you wouldn't normally do. I really like it
This one was definitely visually much easier than the tea one. But I still really appreciated how in depth he went when describing the breads. 🤤

I liked how he actually gave info about every bread and not just the expensive ones. It's also interesting that he can tell how much salt is in each loaf.

Choosing mainly in my age group and region (Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany) and having turned 21 and 5 years of legal alcohol use under my belt my options grow more diverse. 😊😊😊
Rest in peace Jim Dunsworth aka Jim Lahey

This is Remy from Ratatouille. Dude smells a bread once and tells you everything in it as well as SALT PERCENTAGE.
Where you find this guy?
Luke Shaffer he is a professional baker. So I would take his word for it.
once you experience with baking, you know it just by smell
Because you can easily tell if your an expert with experience
meanwhile the title clearly says "bread expert"
Luke Shaffer this is what i was gonna say
damn, i really just watched 16 minutes of this man eating bread
Bruh, and I wished I was him for every one of those minutes. He got me eating toast at 2AM fam... 2AM!

Happy to hear that Mr. Lahey finally got off the liquor
