Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour (usually wheat) and water, usually by baking.
Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes (e.g. sourdough), chemicals (e.g. baking soda), industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration, which creates the gas bubbles that fluff up bread. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavour, texture, colour, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production.

    What is your favourite type of bread?

    Do you prefer rustic style bread or a nice soft white - or perhaps sourdough is your favourite? Bread with seeds and grains, dark rye, brioche, Wonder loaf? Which do you prefer - or are you like me? I love most breads and which one I prefer depends on what I'm eating with the bread. For...

    Recipe Rye Bread with Miso (single rise)

    I wasn’t sure if this would work - but I thought that as miso is fermented, maybe it will add a sour dough dimension. It turns out that it does. Its a subtle back taste and I’m intending to make more bread with miso and increase the amount of miso next time. The bread is straightforward -...

    Recipe Coffee Bread with Cherries and Raisins

    Recipes for coffee breads are not very common - not anywhere near as common as coffee cake. Perhaps its because (as I discovered) you need to use very strong coffee to impart a coffee flavour. Triple the amount of coffee you normally use in relation to water. A good instant coffee will work...

    Recipe Saffron and Marmalade Tea Bread

    There is a traditional Cornish tea bread made with saffron and dried fruit and I was reading that bakers used to make it with whole threads of saffron rather than crushed, pounded saffron. This was to show customers that the saffron was real and not a fake substitute. Saffron and orange work...

    Turmeric Bread

    I trialled this a couple of weeks ago - just a little 300g loaf. It was well-received but .. half a 300g loaf doesn't go very far ...so I made a 500g version today. I used: 450g PMF (strong white bread flour) 50g farine de sarrasin (buckwheat flour) 1 tsp ground turmeric 1.5 tsp cumin seeds 1...

    Greek Feta Pull Apart Bread

    Hi all, this is my first post so apologies if I'm doing any Cooking Bites faux pas! Last weekend we hosted a dinner party and my wife asked me to bake something. She sent me a video of a Greek style pull apart beer bread with Feta so I tried my hand at it without the beer. This bread was easy...

Apparently, the earliest reference to French toast dates back to 4th century Rome.The name for French toast in France is “pain perdu”, which means “lost bread.” In the UK it is sometimes called 'eggy bread' or 'gypsy bread' and is...

    A Winter bread

    My intention is to make a heavy, dark, slightly sweet and strongly-flavoured bread, that’s full of seeds and nuts, and which is made in a 'rustic' style. The only restriction is that I don’t want to make a bread that’s just too tasty for my neighbour’s 4-year old (so I won't use more than 10%...

    Recipe Charcoal Rye Bread

    Charcoal powder has no real flavour and is mainly used as a colourant. You really don't need to add the charcoal if you don't want to or can't obtain it - but the bread will not be as dark. Ingredients 250g Rye flour 150g White bread flour 1 tbsp fennel seeds 1 tbsp caraway seeds 35g pumpkin...

    Recipe Focaccia Bread

    After several attempts using various recipes this is the most successful focaccia I've made, so far - I used several bits of different recipes in the end. The onion and thyme topping is optional - there are many other toppings you could use or simply sprinkle with olive oil and coarse sea salt...

    Recipe Bud Light Bread (one rise method)

    It wasn't meant to be Bud Light - I bought a good brown ale the other day for making this beer bread. But there it was - gone! My son had drunk it. :mad: Bud Light was the only alternative in the house. It worked out OK. You can really taste the Masa Harina (blue cornmeal) in this bread even...

    What is your everyday bread?

    In this house its a multigrain, medium sliced (from Aldi usually). Hardly a gourmet bread - but that's what everyone here likes for everyday sandwiches, toast etc. So its in the cupboard most of the time. This alternates sometimes with soft white sliced bread. I like that too sometimes. You...

    How to get dried fruit evenly distributed?

    I've recently made two versions of Bara Brith (a yeasted fruit bread/tea loaf). Most recipes for yeasted fruit bread suggest adding the dried fruit after the first rising, which is what I did. This is really not very easy and I'm not happy with the result. Does anyone (@medtran49?) know how to...

    Recipe focaccia

    I mentioned in the recent thread on herb flatbreads that I have been trying (and consistently failing) to replicate the focaccia that I used to buy from Fratelli Camisa in London 35 years ago. Having experimented recently with sloppy wet doughs, and having also seen Paul Hollywood's recipe for...
