what is a good soup bread, im gonna make clam chowder for a potluck tomorrow and was gonna select some bread for the peeps to eat with as well. I dont know the difference between those fancy breads
for example, my standard is what they use to make bread bowls at panera, whatever thats called i think would be a good start
but you know, cheaper is good, but i will also entertain better quality
cuz huh, heh, i aint tryna go broke feeding these niggas 11/11/2010 3:50:26 PM |

use a loaf of french bread as a really deep bread bowl
you'd probably have to sip it 11/11/2010 3:54:08 PM |

The bread bowls are Panera are oversized Sourdough dinner rolls (they sell them in the bakery in two sizes, along with regular Sourdough bread). The bread they serve with it is a regular french baguette.
Assuming you already have oyster crackers (because really son you need those, as much crockpotting you do) a type of sourdough bread wouldn't be bad. For something like clam chowder you can't really go wrong with any kind of bread as long as it's not, like, multigrain or overly nutty (definitely skip on the rye).
I used to work as a baker at Panera so I keep thinking of them, just because if you're in a rush their bakery is definitely the best part of the store. They sell Tomato Basil bread which is a type of Sourdough, that would work.
Really you want anything soft and absorbent with some flavor of its own (sourdough breads).'
You can even just get dinner rolls.
Or a french bag.
Fuck dude all bread is good, and unless you're going to a goddamn bakery and picking something out your choices are going to be limited anyway. 11/11/2010 3:55:52 PM |

This is a very important question.
What style of clam chowder? New England, Manhattan, Chesapeake? 11/11/2010 3:58:49 PM |

I would sure as fuck hope it wasn't Manhattan style 11/11/2010 4:01:56 PM |

Oyster crackers is the correct answer. And real ones, not those hexagonal ritz things. 11/11/2010 4:25:38 PM |

I call it Hatteras Style, but Wikipedia calls it Outer Banks style, which is probably more appropriate. 11/11/2010 4:35:42 PM |

I had never heard of this...please elaborate...
Nevermind, I googled it. And found an interesting note about New England style...
Quote : | "Adding tomatoes to clam chowder was shunned, to the point that a 1939 bill making tomatoes in clam chowder illegal was introduced in the Maine legislature." |
We need to raise up and pass some shit like that for our BBQ. These Lexington fuckers need to gtfo.

k so I went to Freddy Kroger and bought a managers special big ass soft sourdough parbake loaf for 75 cents
the style of chowder is the ONLY chowder that matters, new england
im adding the sweetest of mixed white and yellow corn to it because i wanted to twist it up.
so i just gotta find time before serving the chowder to finish the bake, and rest it so i can cut it up into portions. 11/11/2010 8:43:29 PM |

im not blessed with the greatest pallette 11/11/2010 10:18:54 PM |
BigHitSunday Dick Danger 51059 Posts user info edit post |
i cut the sourdough up into little squares and then coated the crust and most likely some of the bread in butter
waited about five minutes and then brushed some australian honey over the top
im worried about it melting when i reheat it, so should i just leave it alone? I actually finished the parbake perfectly and the crust is beautiful 11/12/2010 11:05:20 AM |

I am shocked at the lack of bread snobs itt.

lol! me too
but that quickly went down the shitter when those fools told me to use oyster crackers
i expected flames when i explained that I bought a MANAGERS SPECIAL sourdough PARBAKE loaf from KROGER 11/12/2010 11:24:15 AM |

why? you're feeding that garbage to other people, not picking it for yourself
but bread has few basic ingredients and there's a fairly specific science to it. if they sell it, its probably edible. 11/12/2010 11:29:58 AM |

the same can be said for beer, but clearly no one wants to start a thread about the best beer to go with (x) type of food11/12/2010 11:31:16 AM |
GREEN JAY All American 14180 Posts user info edit post |
mostly because there are entire forums and sites devoted to that
but most beer sold commercially is drinkable. its not like BHS said he was a baker or anything. and we're just all impressed that making clam chowder didn't involve opening 5 cans of cambells's chunky 11/12/2010 11:35:27 AM |
