About Bread, italian
Bread is one of the world's oldest and most fundamental foods, a staple across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and North Africa, much as rice anchors the table across East Asia. At its simplest it is a dough of flour and water, usually leavened with yeast or a sourdough starter, left to rise, then baked until the outside crisps and the inside turns light and airy. Wheat is the classic grain because its high gluten content gives dough the stretch and spring that traps gas and creates an open crumb, but bakers also work with rye, barley, corn, oats, spelt, and emmer, often blended with wheat flour for structure.
The result is an enormous family that spans crusty sourdough loaves, soft sandwich bread, flatbreads like pita and naan, bagels, baguettes, and dense whole-grain and rye loaves. Bread supplies carbohydrates for energy along with some protein and fiber, and whole-grain versions add more fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Store crusty breads at room temperature and freeze extra loaves to keep them fresh.
