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.
