There are four main types of Bread:

  1. Pan bread: This type of bread is popular in the economically
    developed countries including USA, Canada, United Kingdom and
    European nations.
  2. Hearth bread or sour bread: This category of bread is produced with
    or without lactic acid fermentation. Hearth breads are baked in an
    open hearth. These breads are becoming popular in France.
  3. Flat bread or roti/chappati: This category of bread is popular in
    Asian countries. The product is unfermented and flat. This baked on a
    flat hot pan.
  4. Rolls and other small fermented breads: These products generally
    have higher levels of sugar and fat in the formulation and thus
    typically have sweeter taste and softer bite characteristics.

The basic recipes for bread making include wheat flour, yeast, salt and water. If any one of these basic ingredients is missing, the acceptable product cannot be prepared. Other ingredients are known as optional, for example, fat, sugar, milk and milk product, etc. Each of these ngredients has specific role to play in bread making. The wheat flour is the main ingredient in bread production. It is primarily responsible for bread structure and bite characteristics. Water transforms flour into a viscoelastic dough that retains gas produced during fermentation and water also provides medium of all chemical reaction to occur. Yeast ferment sugars and produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. It, thus, give us porous and leavened bread. Sugar is the source of fermentable carbohydrate for yeast and it also provides sweet taste. Salt enhances flavour of all other ingredients and adds taste to the bread. It also strengthens the gluten network in the dough. Fat makes the bread texture softer and improves its freshness and shelf life. The oxidising agents such a ascorbic acid, potassium bromate, potassium iodate and azodicarbonamide are used at parts per million levels to enhance dough strength loaf volume and softness. Surfactants are used as anti-staling agents. Calcium propionate is used as prevent mold growth.
