The Ultimate Guide to Different Types of Bread
Updated: Apr 14, 2022
Bread makes up a big part of people’s diets across the world, making it rather helpful to know about the differences between different types of bread. From buns and rolls to beloved sliced bread, they’re the perfect comfort food that can satisfy any belly.
Here are all the different kinds of bread that you need to try at least once in your life!
Potato bread
Potato bread has been steadily growing in popularity due to its immense softness and a hint of potato flavor. This healthier alternative to white bread is packed with potassium, antioxidants, fiber, and healthy nutrients such as vitamins B and C. It’s often used for making savory sandwiches!
No-knead bread
Feeling too lazy to knead your own bread? Try this delicious bread that needs only 5 ingredients and no kneading! Infuse with thyme or rosemary for a fancy flavor, and this delicious bread just needs to be left overnight to rise and be enjoyed after getting baked in the morning. Pair this crusty and fluffy load with some jam and clotted cream for a sweet treat to start off your day.
Egg bread
Bread like brioche and challah are super-rich due to the high quantity of eggs used in the dough. While these bread are delicious enough on their own, they’re also perfect for making some French toast or pairing with sweet honey butter for a quick snack.
Italian bread
Italian breads are very light, soft, and have a deliciously chewy crust. They’re an absolute delight to indulge in, especially when they’re fresh out of the oven. One of our favorites is Ciabatta—this white Italian bread is made using wheat flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil, which results in a wide-pored crumb that’s super wooly with a crisp, golden-yellow crust. It’s the perfect choice for making sandwiches!
Focaccia bread
Focaccia consists of a thin crust with an absorbent, moist interior. Made up of yeast and olive oil, it’s an ideal bread for appetizers or for sopping up pasta sauces. You can add sausage slices, cheese, peppers, and olives to this versatile bread as well! It’s basically edible art—the only limit is your creativity.
