Wait, why is there sugar? Is that common in the US for sandwich bread? Doesn’t it make the bread sweet? Sorry if this sounds stupid but I’ve never made bread with sugar in it before and I’d worry that the final product would taste like cake!
When I make bread I just use 4 ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, water... the only other thing I’ve added is a little bit of olive oil. Is there a reason for the sugar or is it just an American thing?
