Bread: Specialty & savory breads

We all know the story of how the Earl of Sandwich asked for meat between two slices of bread, as he was hungry and didn’t want to get his hands dirty or leave the gaming table, hence inventing the sandwich. Very ingenious. And certainly, bread is used for sandwiches, wraps and the like the world over. But many cultures also bake tasty inclusions and fillings into their loaves – a meal in one, or the basis for an extra special sandwich. The cheese breads of Georgia and Italy are especially prized, a super-charged take on bread and cheese. In India, look to the Naan for a bread that can readily lend itself to all manner of spiced and savory fillings. This collection forms part of An introduction to Bread.
