Peanut butter

Salt and roasted fat against pure sugar. The texture argument matters as much.

Soft crumb is the only vehicle that does not fight a paste this claggy.

Jelly acid and sugar against salt and fat. Four tastes, two ingredients.

Shared pyrazines, opposite tastes. Salt is what makes it a pairing not a pile.

Cured smoke into roasted fat. Both salt-forward, so the bread has to be sweet.

Floral sugar thins the paste enough to swallow, which is a real problem solved.
