It occurred to the boys that bread, that simple staple, is sadly
overlooked vis a vis reviews...

I'm a big fan of the America's Test Kitchen/Cooks Illustrated people, and among their taste tests are bread. I trust them as their taste tests and recipes have always worked for me. I don't know who the two clowns are in this video, but I would have no reason to trust them.

We don't have those brands of bread here in the US except for that poor excuse for bread known as Wonder Bread. The winner looked promising though.

No doubt a meticulously-conducted, scientific study performed by a team of highly qualified experts! My wife bakes our bread or we buy it from a bakery...and it's never plain white bread.

When we were staying at B & B's in Ireland, breakfasts included a funky whole-grain bread for toast but they would always bring over a plate of toasted white "Wonder-type" bread assuming that, as Americans, we would prefer the tasteless, bland America product over a flavorful home-baked one (kind of a racial profiling, huh). We started telling our hosts to skip the white bread as soon as we sat down.

My local bakery is staffed entirely by Vietnamese... actually Hmong.
I get both white and multi-grain loaves, and rolls, all of which are
excellent.

1. It was humour... meant to make the viewer smile... it seems you fail to realize that obvious point.

2. Bakers Delight (which is a chain of small local bakeries that sell over the counter at the bakery), which the boys chose as the best, is in fact the best bread of those tested... which is evidence that they can be trusted.

Congrats on your accurate perception Ollieboy.

my wife makes a different breads as required. I have fresh bread about every other day. It makes great toast. Also she adds olives and peperoni for a fantastic pizza bread or apples and raisins for a fruit bread. Some breads she cooks in a skillet on the gas stove, others in the oven and some in gas grill. She always has a sour dough starter working. She uses different flour for different breads.
She makes both thin and thick pizza. In the summer the pizza is cooked on a 1/4" steel plate that is on the gas grill at 500 to 600 degrees F. Many of the recipes duplicate what she has learned when we traveled in Europe.
The downside is having to watch the calories

I didn't watch the review but if you want a good tasting healthier bread try Dave's Killer Bread. It comes in several varieties and thicknesses. I get the one below at Walmart...
