Its irresistible moistness, its sweet taste, that gourmet feeling it leaves in the mouth, its taste of coming back for more when it is grilled, spread with butter, covered with jam and dipped in the drink of your choice; ah the sandwich bread, the crumb of the breakfast, yeah, not that much.
For good reason if the artisanal recipe, made up of flour, butter, milk, sugar and salt, is already very high in calories, the industrial version is a huge trompe-l'oeil . This was demonstrated by the enlightening documentary recently broadcast on France 5 Pain de mie, the mie that wants you well in which the composition of industrial sandwich loaves is studied, based on the expertise of dieticians, agronomists and bakers in particular.
So word has been given to Christophe Vasseur, artisan baker, who, with a demonstration in support, revealed the secrets of making industrial sandwich bread which in the country of the baguette, represents 10% of the volume of bread sales when it is 90 % in the USA. "False fat, fake sugar, the famous glucose syrup, fake milk, poor flour..." , he explains under the eye of the camera. An eloquent demonstration which also shows us how much we are fooled during the act of purchase. For good reason, the yeast being added in astronomical quantities at the time of production, we end up with a product that looks massive but filled with air. (The video at the end of the article)
Another formidable piece of information that should push us to put an end to this dietary practice, the inexorable presence of preservatives , such as the chemical calcium propionate, known as E282, used for its fungicidal properties delays the appearance of mould. Substance which, if not classified as hazardous to health, can cause, according to scientists, gastric disorders in its consumers, and attention disorders in children.
For information, the editorial staff of 60 million consumers has, last year, sifted through all the sandwich loaves on the market; thus in the plain category, the breads to favor are the Casino Bio sandwich bread which arrived tied with Jacquet sliced bread, followed by Maître Jean Pierre sliced bread (Lidl) and crustless sandwich bread Leader Price . Still, if you really can't resist the call of sandwich bread, the best thing is to buy it from an artisan baker, and you'll get the baker's smile as a bonus.
