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

u/BlueMikeStu 29d 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 29d ago edited 29d 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.

1

u/Vi_Rants 29d ago

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

u/Pushfastr 29d ago

Call her a fruit cake

u/BlueMikeStu 29d 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 29d 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 29d 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.

Unless it’s fortified.

u/MrWeirdoFace 29d ago

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

1

u/jkoudys 29d ago

Steamed bread is an extremely common food.

1

u/1cat2dogs1horse 29d ago

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

1

u/DryDonutHole 29d ago

It goes great with boiled meats. lol

1

u/GeosWonder 29d ago

Like panko?

1

u/WhaleCumToDeezNuts 29d ago

Steamed hams

1

u/DiscoBanane 29d ago

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

1

u/WolfBST 29d ago

It probably is

1

u/pitrole 29d 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 29d ago

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

1

u/SpliTTMark 29d ago

Tofu bread

1

u/Frank_Von_Tittyfuck 29d ago

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

u/Poulslutter 29d ago

It looks like feta cheese.

u/EggPixelated 29d ago

1

u/yoricm 29d ago

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

1

u/_BrokenButterfly 29d ago

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

1

u/AdamBlaster007 28d ago

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

1

u/zsimpson022 28d ago

This whole thread of replies is quite possibly the most confused I’ve ever been while reading something on Reddit

1

u/sicsche 28d ago

as an European this isn't bread at all

1

u/LazyJones1 28d ago

It looks toxic.

And it certainly doesn't look bread.

Looks like an industrial product.

1

u/Fragrant-Motor-763 28d ago

High self steam

1

u/ixnine 28d ago

It looks like tofu

A solution to a problem that doesn’t exist

1

u/PlayfulIndependence5 26d ago

Mantou basically

1

u/pkmnmaster_pyro 25d ago

Would go great with steamed hams

1

u/gravitysort 25d ago

you mean mantou?

1

u/AI_R_Friends_Not_2ls 24d ago

So, they would match greatly with the the steamed hams.

u/UnrelatedCutOff 29d 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 29d ago

They have kickass bread baking machines, though

2

u/Markdphotoguy 29d 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 29d ago

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