Bread spice is the secret ingredient that gives every homemade bread a special touch.
From rustic farmer's bread made from wholemeal rye and wheat flour to healthy seed bread and aromatic wholemeal bread - the range of possibilities is almost endless.
Each bread has its own character, which is shaped by the selection of ingredients, the production technique and the baking method.
A homemade sourdough bread, for example, is characterized by its sour note and its long dough, while a light ciabatta impresses with its airy crumb and its mild taste.
Whether traditional, exotic or experimental, bread is not only a delight for the palate, but also a creative canvas for bakers to bring their own flavor ideas to life.
