Bread is a staple food prepared by baking a dough of flour and water.It may be leavened or unleavened..salt, fat and a leavening agent such as yeast are common ingredients, though breads may contain a range of other ingredients like milk,egg,sugar,spice,fruit seeds (raisins),vegetables etc. Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, dating back to the Neolithic era. The development of leavened bread can probably also be traced to prehistoric times.
