Types Of Bread
Bread is a food product that has a long history dating back
to the neolithic period. The earlier bread versions were made
by cooking grain paste, which is a paste made from cereal grains
and water. Now the bread is made by steaming, baking or frying
the dough. The raw materials for bread include flour, water,
salt and yeast that acts as a leavening agent. Some times additional
things like spices, sugar, vegetables and seeds are also added
to decorate it and add flavor to it. There are different
types of breads according to the preferences of people in different
regions.
