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.

    Today’s Bread (2023-2024)

    I wanted to put my new food processor through its paces, so I churned out a standard wheat sandwich loaf: Worked out really well, the food processor didn’t budge at all and was very quiet while kneading away at a 4-cups-of-flour dough.

    Recipe Gluten free, Chickpea Flour Beer Bread
