A short defence of the humble bun
Everyone wants the dramatic sourdough. The bun quietly does more work than any of them.
The sourdough gets the photographs. The bun gets the lunchboxes, the last-minute guests, the Tuesday that got away from you. It is soft, quick, endlessly adaptable, and completely unbothered by your ambitions.
Respect the bun. It has fed more people than any showpiece loaf ever will.
