Sorry if this isn’t the place for this but I’m wondering how my bread has developed a crust on a inner slice, it is store bought bread so presumably cut with a machine not by a person so how could this have happened?

    Nice ear. Well, maybe just an earlobe. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)

    Seeing a picture of the adjacent slice would be helpful. I bet it looks wonky too.

  3. Breadular division (mitoastis) is how more bread is made. This bread was cut prematurely but you can see the beginning of telophase.

  4. My only thought is that maybe the loaf had a hole in the one side and the structure of the adjacent dough got pushed through and toasted on the edge of the pan. Maybe this would result in that “ear” being attached to that part of the loaf?

    But, no idea on the cutting. Maybe when slicing it got folded back and therefore didn’t get cut off?

    This is messing with my brain

  5. My guess is that a slice ended up in the uncooked loaf and that piece would have been harder than the rest of the loaf so when cutting it would have folded over the end while cutting.

    It almost looks like a neighboring piece of bread that got extremely squished rather than sliced off

    Step 1: put bread in sclicer
    Step 2:…
    Step 3: Profits?

    It’s potentially cancerous bread mole have it inspected by your local bread doctor (baker) and removed if it is a danger so it doesn’t spread to other slices.

    Thank you all for the bread-based comedy I didn’t know I needed this morning 🙂

    My guess is the cutting blade entered the bread just a little on that edge then backed off and then the blade re-entered a millimetre over.

    So that crust was entirely on the outside at first but the false cut moved it on the inside during the bagging process

    Ninja edit.

    The breadussy! You will now live an extra five years.

  12. I can actually answer this because I work at a commercial bread factory.

    When it was being passed through the slicer, there is a roof that can be raised or lowered depending on the height of the bread. Sometimes the bread changes height in the middle of a run because of ingredient/temp changes.

    The ceiling was too low causing the bread to be smashed. The portion that is sticking out was pushed/folded into the middle of the loaf because the top was smashed down while it got sliced and then when it came out from under the roof, the bread expanded again and now it looks like that.

    It absorbed its sibling, the slice next to it.

    Your bread is just being a shark for Halloween
