“White bread†is known as the basis of bread due to its chewy texture and light flavor. The sweet flavor goes well with other ingredients, so it has been baked crispy and eaten with jam, and has been used as an ingredient in various dishes such as toast and sandwiches. Recently, unique white breads filled with various ingredients such as cream, cheese, and sweet red beans have appeared and are captivating the palates of many people. Starting with white bread that is baked healthily with organic ingredients, white bread that is rich with matcha cream and sweet red bean paste, white bread that is fun to eat by tearing it with your hands, and even white bread with the subtle flavor of truffles! Let's take a look at the 5 best white bread restaurants that came with a spectacular transformation.

“Tardema†bakes healthy white bread with ingredients such as organic wheat, milk butter, and naturally fermented varieties. The signature menu, “Cheetos White Bread,†stands out for its fun menu name taken one letter at a time from the cheese, tomato, and basil pesto in white bread. The combination of fragrant basil pesto and sour tomatoes makes you feel like eating pizza. It contains cheese, so I recommend eating it warm.
