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.

    Recipe Pain au sarrasin

    It was only after I’d made this bread that I discovered that pain au sarrasin actually exists – and is a speciality of Brittany. (Perhaps it’s sold on some local markets or sur commande from a boulangère artisanale – but I’ve never seen it for sale). If the bread contains between 10% and 40%...

    This came about because I had some evaporated milk left over from another project. There are quite a few recipes like this - but I just improvised, writing down measures as I went.
