The braaibroodjie is not simply the best thing since sliced bread – it’s better than sliced bread and coincidentally, a consequence of sliced bread.
The braaibroodjie is not simply the best thing since sliced bread –
it’s better than sliced bread and coincidentally, a consequence of
sliced bread. There are rare exceptions for some of the more exotic
variations of braaibroodjie in this book but a braaibroodjie is almost
exclusively best made by using plain, straightforward white sliced
bread.
When I was a kid, these breads were sold as a single unit and either
in the bakery area of the supermarket or close to the payment points,
the store would have a machine for you to slice your own bread. These
machines sliced the whole loaf in uniform slices and the slices were
also typically thinner than if you sliced that same bread with a bread
knife at home.
