Bread is baked food from water, flour and yeast. Through the whole world it is basic food, especially in Europe and Middle East. For centuries it has been part of the daily meal of many people.

Making French loaf is not too hard. The simple mix from flour, water, yeast and salt works for sandwich loaves in molds, pizza or even pita.
Proofing means to leave the dough rise before baking, usually at least an hour in a warm place. Uneven densities during second kneading and shaping cause many problems in the final breads. Home baking bread gives big pleasure, and usually it tastes better than bought.
