1. white bread - the delicate temptation
White bread is the epitome of lightness and tenderness. Made from refined wheat flour, it is characterised by a fine crust and a soft, fluffy crumb. The addition of sugar, butter or milk gives this bread a gentle sweetness. Perfect for sandwiches and as an accompaniment to savoury spreads, white bread is a classic that never goes out of fashion.
2. wholemeal bread - the nutritious choice
Wholemeal bread, unlike refined white bread, uses the whole grain. The result is a bread that not only has a stronger flavour, but is also rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins. The crust can be slightly thicker and the texture ranges from compact to fluffy, depending on the mix of wholemeal flours. Wholemeal bread is not only delicious, but also a nutritionally valuable choice.
3. sourdough bread - the art of fermentation
Sourdough bread owes its unique flavour and airy texture to the art of fermentation. A sourdough starter made from water and flour, containing natural yeast bacteria, is used to make the dough rise. This process gives the bread a characteristic sour flavour and a rustic crust. Sourdough bread can be made from different types of flour and offers a wide range of flavours, from mild to intense.
4. rye bread - the robust delicacy
Rye bread, with its strong and spicy flavour, is a classic in many European cuisines. It is often baked with a mix of rye and wheat flour, with the rye giving the bread its characteristic flavour. Rye bread can vary from dense and compact to light and moist, depending on the recipe and regional traditions. This bread goes perfectly with savoury toppings such as smoked fish or spicy cheese.
5. baguette - the French classic
A baguette is the epitome of French bakery art. With a crispy crust and a soft, airy crumb, the baguette is perfect for snacks or as an accompaniment to many dishes. The ingredients are simple: wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. The key lies in the technique of kneading and moulding, which gives the baguette its characteristic elongated shape.
