Easy recipe ideas for your favourite bread types
Bread has been a staple part of our diets for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilisations that made simple flatbreads from grains and water. Over time, it evolved into the wide variety of loaves we enjoy today.
In the 18th century, the Earl of Sandwich famously placed meat between slices of bread, creating what we now know as the sandwich. Since then, we’ve come a long way, with endless ways to enjoy bread, from simple toast to creative, flavour-packed recipes.
