Bread is a good energy source and provides the body with essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Wholemeal bread is healthier as it contains more fiber than white bread.
Bread making is a process that has been around for centuries. It involves the mixing of flour, water, and yeast to create dough. The dough is then left to rise before being shaped into loaves and baked in an oven.
If you want to try your hand at bread making, plenty of easy recipes are available online for beginners or in cookbooks. Once you have mastered the basics, you can start experimenting with different flavors and ingredients.
