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 & Video Delicious Coconut Raisin Bread

    Why do the sides of my bread not brown?

    About 3 weeks ago - when yeast was not available - I scored a five pack of frozen rise and bake bread loaves. The fourth is in the oven - one left in the freezer. the top gets a beautiful golden brown. The sides are white. Is it my pan? I am using a Teflon pan. Medium gray. Should I be...

    Recipe Chilli-Cheese Loaf-Cake

    I call this a loaf-cake because its a bit like a cross between bread and a heavy cake. It goes well with salad for a nice lunch but its tasty enough to eat on its own (especially toasted). I know this is a bit of a vague recipe - the exact quantities of the vegetables aren't specified but you...

    Hello everyone, I would like some help with understanding what I am doing wrong when making bread by hand. I have been making plenty of loaves using my own sourdough starter made from wholemeal rye flour and water. I do everything inside a pyrex bowl, stretch and fold every 45 mins for about 6...

    Soda Bread

    First let me say I am NOT a cook. I just mess around.:thumbsdown: I live on my own, with just an up & over fridge/freezer, so very limited storage. I don't use a lot of bread, a large loaf will last me 2-3 weeks, so when I buy one, it takes up valuable freezer space. Over the years, I have...

    Trouble starting yeast for bread
