I love these big crazy breads. They're great on their own and I sometimes make massive dagwood sandwiches with them and slice them up

I'm just laughing at "bread" and "proof" but I know they didn't intend on the pun.
No bun intended…
I make my own these days and regularly offer them to guests but I used to buy the stores artisan breads for lunch while working construction when I was young.
The cost to create of a family size loaf of jalapeno and mozzerella stuffed herb focaccia is about $4.87, lower if you cheap out on oil, so theres tons of room for markup even if the store ends up throwing most of it out.
That cost seems incredibly high, how did you calculate that? Also what are you paying for a loaf of bread? Granted cheese is expensive so depending on how much mozarella you're factoring in that could play a part, but im still curious about your numbers.
Herbs, flour, oil, jalapenoes, cheese, and eggs divide by volume all at retail price.
Egg is for the wash.
Good oil and herbs are the largest expense if you buy the cheese in bulk (aged cheeses like mozzerella and parmesian are more mold resistant than other cheeses if kept dry), but you could cheap out with a premade herb blend and some generic "olive" oil.
We might also just have different opinions on what "family size" means.
Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don't even like to shop any more at places where they don't sell it.
Does this come in unsliced? Because cut that suckers down the middle perpendicular to the chopping board and you could make a giant toasted ham & cheese croissant slab
Mind blown!
Je suis venu faire mon français outré mais oublions OP deux minutes ? Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ???!
C'est juste un gros croissant shapé comme une miche de pain
Tu penses qu'on peut faire tourbillonner correctement le feuilletage en maintenant ce genre de forme ?
Bonne question... Je suis curieux maintenant, je vais aller m'instruire!
disgusted French look of superiority
jkjk it looks like something terrible in a good way.
Cause it's probably 3/4 butter.
Count me in.
The only issue I see with it is that since it's wrapped in plastic it's gonna be soft and rubbery instead of crunchy.
it’s gonna be soft and rubbery instead of crunchy
I don't think croissants are supposed to be rubbery or crunchy, are they? "Flakey" is probably what you want.
Yeah flakey would be a better term altthough I'd still put it in the crunchy umbrella. Like flakey means the exterior is kinda crunchy.
Otoh don't take me too seriously I like to dunk them in coffee or milk :p
I think you just do too much drugs.
To be fair, the quality of the bread in these mass produced "artisan bakery" sections can be trash tier, like sometimes it's wonder bread level but even more dry. Idk why they decide to do it. Maybe it was fresh at one point but these displays can get left out all week.

I used to buy this kind of bread before I started making my own sourdough, but it just doesn't compare to fresh out of the oven. It's more or less equivalent to my own bread after a week when I have to start toasting it.
Our local chain, Hannaford, has pretty good stuff actually. Their cakes and pastries are good too. Walmart bakery is trash, but it's Walmart. They do pizza rolls 👌
Yeah a d by the time you are spending that kind of money on bread, either get it from an actual bakery or make it yourself.
