I feel like the most Bay Area bread is Dutch Crunch. So ubiquitous here and very delicious.

This is one of my most missed foods after moving away from the Bay Area.

Going to the Safeway deli and getting a Dutch crunch sandwich...I'm hungry now.

In the UK we have "Tiger Bread", which is my favourite type of bread. I wonder how that differs to Dutch Crunch.
It's the same thing. We call it Dutch Crunch because it came from the Netherlands.

Oddly the rest of the US has sourdough but none of them have ever heard of Dutch Crunch. Which is just as well because it really cuts up your mouth.

Do you know what they call it in the Netherlands? My wife is Dutch and we've been to the Netherlands a bunch of times and I'm trying to picture what it is you're eating. Most of the bread we ate there, or that my wife's family eats is a pretty unassuming white bread (a grocery store italian loaf wouldn't be a bad comparison) just buttered, usually with a slice of gouda or ham.
I think it's the same
It's a great way to exfoliate the roof of your mouth.
Dutch Crunch is also popular in the Seattle area.
