"I usually like butter on rye toast. I've been eating it this way for years. Can I also use butter on whole wheat toast? I see nothing on the butter
wrapper or bread package which sheds any light on the issue. Help!"
Ha! You're clearly a toast connoiseur, and know your ways around the noble crust. You're right, Big Butter isn't interested in accuracy or helping out us little guys. I remember, back before butter had gone corporate, they used to care about the consumer and address things like this. You can't blame them I suppose; Parkay kind of ruined it for everyone - the dairy industry had to keep up somehow. But I miss those days.
Recipe Help Baked Chicken SupremeI recently found this recipe, and I want to try it. I suspect it's an older one, and some of it is confusing: Baked Chicken Supreme 1 baking size...
The first thing you have to consider is whether or not your whole wheat is really "whole" wheat, or is just what's labelled "wheat bread," which can have any amount of whole wheat flour. These breads can be overwhelmed by a really good butter, although with standard Land-O-Lakes or store brand, they work fine. It goes with out saying that you're using unsalted.
You might be lucky enough to live somewhere near a developing artisan buttermaker. These folks are bringing back the ancient noble art of churning as it was meant to be. Many use organic milk from their own cows. This stuff is the best. If you're using this, then you either should be baking your own bread or using artisan baked stuff.
Plugra, or finnish butter, is availlable in specialty stores and high-end groceries like Whole Foods. It might even be availlable in normal stores like Kroger or Albertsons or Aldi. You can probably also buy it over the internet.
What are you burning your bread with? I tried the fork method like they do in the UK, but I just couldn't master it. Maybe if I had a roaring fire, but it doesn't work with a gas range. I know some people like those retro styled hulks like Cuisinart is selling, but those are mostly overpriced flash. I've had perfectly good results with a thrift store hamilton beach two slicer. I don't like the color, but hey, isn't that what spray paint is for?
Good luck and enjoy.
Greg Zywicki I'm not sure who I'm making fun of.
