Because it tastes good.

That's too blanked. It tastes _sweet_ and you're _used_ to sweetness in bread.

I love and eat a lot of candy of all types, but I don't want my actual food to taste sweet since I'm not used to it. Because of that sugar in bread doesn't taste good to me, just sweet.

It tastes good because it's a drug and you're addicted *
That's the point of the thread. We really don't need that much sugar to get good taste. The level of sugar in a cake made by, say Safe Way, hurts my throat.
It tastes good with cheaper ingredients, too.

You can find "European" bread in the USA if you want it, but it's often not the cheapest.

When used to that level or a level slightly below it.
