Toast sounds simple, and in a way, it is simple. But, when you consider that the source of good toast is really good bread, it suddenly sounds not so simple after all. After testing a wide variety of contenders, we’ve come to the unanimous decision that the very best bread for toast-making is sourdough. And because toast requires slices of bread, our conclusion also included the rationale that sliced Sourdough is the most practical Sourdough for this particular endeavor. And thus, Trader Joe’s Sourdough Sandwich Bread tops our list of “Best Breads for Toast” for this and every year. Our Sourdough Sandwich Bread is made exclusively for us, and will be slightly different depending on where in Trader Joe’s country you pick up your loaf – the flavor of Sourdough depends largely on the “starter,” which is a living culture that lends the bread its signature sour profile. Because every starter is different, every bakery produces a slightly different flavor profile. What they all have in common is their excellence – especially when toasted. So slather on some butter, a bit of jam, or make a PB&J on Sourdough toast. You may even take that toasting to a higher level, and make a scrumptious grilled cheese... on Sourdough. Toast away. You’ll be glad you did.
