What is wrong with my code?

<p>

public String getSandwich(String str) {



  // remove first bread
  int i = 0;
  String bread1Removed = "";
  while (i<(str.length()-9) && bread1Removed == "") {

    if (str.substring(i,i+5).equals("bread")){
    bread1Removed = str.substring(i+5);
    }

  i++;

  }


  // remove second bread
  i = bread1Removed.length()-5;
  String bread2Removed = "";


 while (i>0 && bread2Removed == "") {

    if (str.substring(i,i+5).equals("bread")){
    bread2Removed = bread1Removed.substring(0,i);
    }

  i--;

  }


return bread2Removed;
}
</p>
