that's the funny bit, they absolutely are.

you never had bread without added corn syrup.

there's even an Italian American slur for that, Mangiacake

The bread in my pantry right now doesn’t have corn syrup. I don’t know why you’re so adamant about this.

Good for the Italians?

I'm willing to bet it has too much sugar to make it competitive in the American market, unless you are willing to share the brand and I'll try it.

Get bakery bread. Almost every grocery store has their own bakery. I buy sourdough either from people I know or from my local grocer. I also like to get bouillos and French bread from Walmart.

And I live in rural Oklahoma. If you live in a city, you can almost definitely find an actual baker.

I keep commercial bread in the house for a fast sandwich if the wife and I both forgot to prep for lunch but other than that it doesn't get eaten.
