Questions tagged [bread]

Questions about kneading, baking, storing, and culinary use of any kind of bread.

This tag covers the traditional loaf of bread in addition to flatbreads, sourdough, pita, and anything else that one might reasonably call "bread".

Tips for effectively tagging questions, in order of preference:

  • Consider adding a cuisine tag for localized styles of bread (e.g. for Naan)
  • When the question concerns specific ingredients in bread-making, try to include tags for those ingredients (e.g. , )
