My mother never baked for me as a child so it was always great to walk into that restaurant and get the aroma of fresh baked bread that they all have.

It has nothing to do with fresh baked bread. If that was the case, bakeries would smell like that too.

here's an article http://www.foodrepublic.com/2011/12/07/whats-behind-subway-bread-smell

I wanted answers, not anonymous conjecture, so I called up Subway headquarters in Milford, Connecticut and spoke with Mark Christiano, Subway's "Global Baking Technologist," and the man who’s ultimately responsible for the production of close to two billion loaves of bread each year.

Christiano sounds like a nice guy. And although he is understandably unwilling to reveal the total recipe of his bread mix, saying that it's "proprietary," he says the basic ingredients are yeast, flour, water and sugar. "It’s your basic bread formula," Christiano says. "And some vitamins." And that does not include any preservatives, he adds.

In the U.S., the dough is made at 11 facilities that exclusively produce Subway bread. The dough is frozen and then sent to the franchises, which put it through a process of thawing before baking it. And, no, according to Christiano, the smell is not intentionally pumped outside to entice passers-by, although he says: “We are proud of the smell. Any baked product smells good. And we want you to catch that bread aroma.”

I asked Christiano what makes that smell so, well, distinctive, and he said that there was no intentional plan to make it smell the way that it does, and that it’s just the result of “a combination of the baking process and the percentage of different ingredients.”

Although he denies that the nonstick pans have any smell — he says they’ve been thoroughly tested — Christiano did hint that perhaps the caramelization smell of the sugar might be a factor, and I think he’s right. I bet the smell is largely due to that process, and something about the fact that the dough was once frozen. Still, there are those who loathe the smell, and so I asked Christiano to address their concerns.

“What don’t they like?” he asked incredulously. I tried to fill him in. “What, that it smells funny? I’d love to talk with them. There’s nothing artificial in there that they’re smelling.”

He just didn’t get it. To him, “the fresh bread sells itself.” And, in a way he’s right, despite what this olfactory-offended minority might think.

How could 2 billion loaves of bread be wrong?

ITT: Slow Children Playing and CHUNG+, two of the worst posters on the board, reaffirm that they are mentally-ill faggots with shitty taste in everything.

Aspies here hate subway because they have to communicate with the person making their sandwich.

when in fact you can just order a tuna on wheat bread with some pickles. They can't actually fuck with tuna and pickles can they?
