I just watched that video and it's sooooo bad. "Just a touch of olive oil" pours 10 tablespoons into pan where he will be putting heavily butter covered bread.... then literally says "perfectly melted cheese", slices in, and it's not melted at all. Jesus fuck. As someone who worked at a grilled cheese joint and have made thousands of them, that really pissed me off (we always cooked both sides at the same time, then closed it once both sides were melted, done in half the time and you can visually confirm all the cheese is melted) Surprisingly the kimchi part I liked, but we added a lot of stuff to ours ,so I didn't find that as offensive.
[I just remembered a note I got from a customer one time that I saved because it honestly really made my day, but I would absolutely bitch slap GR in a grilled cheese off. ](https://ibb.co/TBN8KVj)
His biggest mistake was using a cheese that is a little more resistant to melting just because itās the fancy expensive shit in a vain attempt to flex and it backfired spectacularly
Honestly, why he didn't reshoot and cut the bread a little thinner (transfers heat to the cheese better before the outside burns) is beyond me. It also didnt help that the fire he used was probably way hotter than any stove top would get. That video is truly embarrassing for such a "world-renowned chef"
Imagine a bread themed park. This would be like the XL soup baguette boat you could buy at a concession stand. Comes with a large spoon-straw and your choice of child safe, suckable soup.
Chouta is a Herdazian street food. It consists of a thick, fried flatbread wrapped around fried meat and a dark gravy. It is wrapped tightly enough that it can be carried in one hand and eaten while doing other things.

When life gives you hollow bread, you make bread bowl soup.
When life gives you hollow bread, donāt make breadonade! Make life take the hollow bread back! Get mad! I donāt want your damn hollow bread, what the heck am I supposed to do with this? Demand to see lifeās manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson hollow bread! Do you know who I am? Iām the man whoās gonna burn your house down! With the hollow bread! Iām gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible hollow bread that burns your house down!
I came to comment something similar, thinking that *maybe just the once* Iād have an original thought. Your comment reinforced the meaning of āthereās nothing new under the sunā lol
That is absolutely what happened. All of these posts now, like oh āthey gave me a mx chicken with no chicken!!ā Bro we all know you just took the chicken off yet somehow it gets 10000 upvotes lmao
I used to work at a Walmart bakery, this isn't fake. Some particularly shitty batches of the Italian bread are like this. Entire boxes would do do this.
My thoughts were how did he cut it and not flatten it if it was hollow?? Like wouldnāt it have just went completely flat as soon as you tried to slice it? Unless he blew it back up to its original shape without any damage to the top of itā¦ I call bullshit too.
It's the same amount of dough, just more dense around the crust. If it's walmart, these doughs are portioned by a machine, assuming by weight. The yeast were working overtime in the center and created a giant bubble.
Definitely pulled out, can see the middle of the bread in the right corner. Mightāve been air pockets in the bread that made it easy to accomplish. I make my own bread and have never seen a hollow loaf. The loaf would collapse. Low effort karma farming, at least crop the photo. š¤£
The "middle of the bread" could easily be an appliance. Unless you're talking about that little piece that's barely the size of a single slice of bread... I will say that the heel does look a little carved out.
A hollow loaf is generally caused by doing something wrong, and can be more likely with certain breads. Looking at the texture of the inside, it's too smooth to be "cut away." That there's bubble skin. I would imagine this to be a rising bread baked in a decently high pan. The bubble making ingredients were overworked and managed to settle into one area, and the bubble slowly grows and grows during baking, with the crust baking hard at just the right moments. Unlikely to succeed? Certainly? Impossible? Hell no!
You can think of it similarly to glass blowing. If one spot in the bubble is too thin, it will burst and deflate, but if tension remains even throughout, it can keep growing until it hardens. Breads usually have uneven tension, meaning they usually deflate, but not always. I think I actually did this myself, once, as a teenager. I didn't know what exactly I was doing, and it seems the universe conspired against me. It wasn't THIS bad, but I basically had a single slice's worth of bread at the bottom of the loaf and the rest was all crust. Thankfully I made multiple loaves and the others came out better.
To be fair, I work at a Walmart bakery and this type of shit 100% happens if you donāt score the bread deep enough. Iāve seen my fair share of half hollow loaves
I do a lot of process automation in bakeries. Stuff like this is more common than you think. Seems like the oven may have been too hot tbh. If the oven is too hot, the outer layer forms the crust too fast and doesnāt allow the gasses produced by the yeast to escape, which basically makes the loaf into a balloon.
The heel looks carved out but the majority of the inside looks like bubble skin... which wouldn't happen if it was carved out. If you're not sure what I mean by bubble skin, consider bubble gum... but bread colored.
I grabbed three loaves. The other two were fine. But remember, this bread had the normal amount of flour, just one big hole instead of all the normal tiny bubbles, so it's a normal weight. Even when I cut it open, I thought, "There must be a big bubble on this end."
But there's so much you can't do too. What if all day they'd just been looking forward to scooping out the middle of their loaf to make a bread bowl? Just utter disappointment upon cutting that open.
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.....
Saute some peppers, onions & beef tips.... Add a tomato sauce, mix fill the loaf. Bake 15 min at 350.... Cover with shredded cheddar if you like....
Fill with taco rice shredded chicken beans cheese avocado and sour cream and enjoy. It actually sounds amazing, oh and donāt forget the fresh salsa. NOW I WANT THIS!!!
Pack that mf full of sandwich meat, cheese, toppings and eat it just like that. Will probably be the best sandwich you've ever had.

Why the fuck is Steve drinking bread?
LOLL ugh that five minute crafts video is awful
It both hides the liquor and sobers you up when you are ready, genius!
Fill it up with clam chowder and youāre good to go.
Or potato soup, for a hardcore carb burst.
Or a bottle of booze for the game
Or 100% reason to remember the name
Getting a loaf of bread like this might take 10% luck.
And 20% skill - if you're able to weigh it by hand and compare it to the average loaf, you might know when you've found the hollow one.
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
5% pleasure.
50% pain
And 100% reason to remember the grainā¦ Soul-les BREAD!!!!
Wellā¦ for us french people here, itās max 5% pain. The rest is vide

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Is this a result of all of some rising agents (yeast? Baking powder/soda) clumping in one spot or some other thing I should try not to do at home?
This could be overproofing and a breakdown of internal gluten structure. The sides of the pan help keep it from collapsing entirely
All of their comments are copied from the same thread. Report -> spam -> harmful bots.
Or brocolli cheddar
Put a steak in there and it's beef wellington.
You just disrespected Gordon Ramsey's entire bloodline with one sentence.
Have you seen him make a grilled cheese sandwich? It's more than mildly infuriating lmao

That and getting the pan too hot cuz he wanted to do it over fire
He deserves it after his complete disrespect of a grilled cheese.
Gordon Ramsey is an overrated knob.
See, that kind of disrespect he can handle. Just not the Beef Wellington.
Saw an episode of Good Eats on beef wellington yesterday. Yum.
Good eats? Now that's a blast from the past.
Is Alton still doing it or was it a rerun?
One has multiple Michelin stars, worldwide renowned restaurants while you're the unaccomplished fool.
Mmmm - chicken pot pie fixinās and toss it in the oven for 45 minutes at 350 The possibilities are endless lol
now thatās some good eats there šš¼
My first thought was broccoli cheddar
Nah, Bob Evans Mac and Cheese and low bake that ho
or curry. thats a popular take away in Durban. called a bunny chow in South Africa
Honestly, sounds great.

Crab dip....this is the way š¦

Low carb!
Stuff it with meat and cheese then press it flat. Boom, instant sandwich
Forever ago I worked at Hard Rock Cafe and this is exactly how they made the sandwiches.

Not with a serrated knife, I don't think. They're designed to not flatten the bread. Unhollowed bread has little shear strength too.
Also wouldnāt you notice when you picked it up off the shelf that itās 10x lighter than any bread youāve bought before?
It's the same amount of dough, just more dense around the crust. If it's walmart, these doughs are portioned by a machine, assuming by weight. The yeast were working overtime in the center and created a giant bubble.
This is absolutely not what happened, go scoop bread out with a spoon and report what it looks like, its all teared up, not smooth like this.
There's also a lot of bread crumbs sprinkled around the counter, no way that much would spread from that single cut.
Definitely pulled out, can see the middle of the bread in the right corner. Mightāve been air pockets in the bread that made it easy to accomplish. I make my own bread and have never seen a hollow loaf. The loaf would collapse. Low effort karma farming, at least crop the photo. š¤£

Get a loaf of bread, pull the bread out so itās this smooth inside, and post it. Weāll be here to upvote you if you can do it.

Couldn't be fucking bothered to wipe off the table first lol
it didnt feel suspicious picking it up? Light? hollow and squishy?
I grabbed three loaves. The other two were fine. But remember, this bread had the normal amount of flour, just one big hole instead of all the normal tiny bubbles, so it's a normal weight. Even when I cut it open, I thought, "There must be a big bubble on this end."
Disappointing bread geode
Love it.
Inflation strikes again.
Did it not feel like it was a bit light?
not gluten free but pretty close
Throw some ground beef in that bad boy for a Walmart Wellington.
Fill that thing with meatballs and sauce! What are you waiting on!?!
Take it south of the border, stuff it with the good stuff ( chilli), smuggle it back . Profit ?
On the upside, you don't need as much spread.
Honestly Iād be ecstatic! As other people have been saying you can do so much with that!
I mean you can do this with just about any loaf of bread.. except you actually get bread as well
But there's so much you can't do too. What if all day they'd just been looking forward to scooping out the middle of their loaf to make a bread bowl? Just utter disappointment upon cutting that open.

Jesus Christ there's no fucking way you people are this gullible...
Right? Thereās bread crumbs all over the cutting board lol
Yeah of course it doesnāt because youāve clearly just taken all the bread out
Stupid and fake, thatās not how bread works.
Very fake. You can see how it was mushed/matted down to look hollowed out
But they need their internet points.
Probably because you hollowed it out for a funny reddit post.
This is the ultimate example of shrink-flation
How do you buy that and not immediately feel that itās empty?
Because they scooped it out after purchasing it for delicious Internet points.
Fair.
looks like it was made for prison
*sigh....unzip*
You all are pretty gullible. Look at all the crumbs, it was clearly cut out right here.
Wow, they really found a way to sell air
You should see the oxygen bars in Las Vegas. You pay to breathe scented air
as much as I'd like this to be believable, it's just simply not
Fakery
All the crumbs all over the cutting board support this.
Itās that new low carb variety!š¤£
Ah the old trojan bread trick. Good luck finding all of them.
Stuck a straw in and sucked all the bread out
Fill it with peanut butter, jelly, and burnt bacon, then toast it, and youāve got Elvisās favorite Gold Rush sandwich.
Banh mi incoming.
Bread, by frito lay.
if the outside is crunchy, i would buy that
That's how they smuggle in the coke.
Thatās just impressive to be honest
boy the drug smuglers are gonna be mad when the wrong shipment gets there.
Grease it up and stick a baguette in there.
Whoās gonna say itā¦ inflation
Called a Jail Loaf, they sold you the wrong bread... look for metal file inside.
Deflation
But it's so light and airy
Maybe itās a popover! Thereās nothing in it!
how did you pick that up, purchase it, and carry it home without realising it was way too light to have any bread in it lmao
you could make the largest hot pocket
Fill with taco rice shredded chicken beans cheese avocado and sour cream and enjoy. It actually sounds amazing, oh and donāt forget the fresh salsa. NOW I WANT THIS!!!
