Americans will understand if you use a more specific word for the type of bread, instead of just “bread”, as that makes them think of prepackaged sliced bread.
You just have the wrong Asian friend. You ever have pineapple bun? No it doesn’t have pineapple.
Most of the time it comes with nothing inside it. The crust itself is the tastiest thing, but there are variations, like a big slice of butter, or embedded red bean paste.
I started making my own sourdough bread during COVID because for a while there they didn’t have bread or yeast at the grocery stores. I love the fact that the ingredients are just flour, water, salt and starter (which itself is just flour and water and the yeastie beasties). The yeast all dies during cooking and the water is essentially cooked out of it, so sourdough bread is really just flour altered into a really funky form with a bit of salt. I like the added thought that even the flour is just ground-up grass.

Which also is a pretty dumb thing to say.
