Bread

There is nothing better than good bread fresh from the oven, with its heady aroma, crisp golden crust and soft, light crumb. Bread is a staple food made from flour, salt and water. Some breads are leavened, that is, they use a raising agent such as yeast to give them a lighter texture, and others such as flatbreads use no leavening. Once you understand some of the bread basics, such as working with yeast and kneading techniques, you’ll find that delicious bread is simple and rewarding to make.
