I don't have time to do the measurements, as I won't need to buy more bread for another 3 months.
I buy some bread pre-frozen, to use in case of shortages, like the ones we've seen during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

It's called Ezekiel Bread. It does not expand when it's defrosted.

I don't think you get what's going on here but I'm ready to risk it for the biscuit and tell you to read this thread a little more...like really wheat it and weep.

You're right. But do you have to come across as so sour dough?

Wil Wheaton was rumored to play the lead a few years back, but negotiations went sour when he quit Twitter.
​​​​​Unofficial sources say it's been reworked into a coming-of-age story. The teenage leads will be some rising stars, but the roll of the mother has been offered to Helen Bundt.

Ever since my hardtack, my cardiologist has forbidden me from eating kolaches.

Not a sequel, but there was talk of working on a rebake. The way they sliced up the original source material and monkeyed around with it until they came up with a fresh take ensures this won't be as great as that one was. Despite the effort to find a new way to approach it, this probably isn't going to pan out. It is likely going to be iced and will be toast before it gets going.

You don't have to be so crusty. Not sure what made you so soured ... oh! Definitely pad buns ... I mean bad puns.

No matter how you slice it, it's hard to watch people muffin what should be easy jokes.

OP is trying to get a better viewing angle since Italian bread is 42:9. Slice bread is 4:3. Unfortunately sizing down 42:9 to 21:9 will cause burn-in.

Bread should be eaten in the baker's preferred aspect ratio.

Bagu Ette brought him in alive. When asked how much the bounty was up to though, Ciabatta the Hut replied, "Bounty? There is naan."


OK, I'm done. I'm leaven the rest of this to the professionals.

It was actually Anakin. But they left it in the oven a little too long and it turned to the dark side.
