Explanation

Bread is a common food made by baking a mixture of flour, water, and sometimes yeast (= a substance that makes it rise and become soft, like baking powder) or other ingredients. It comes in many shapes and sizes, like loaves, rolls, or flatbreads. Bread can be plain or flavored, soft or crispy, and is often eaten daily in many cultures. It can be served with meals, used to make sandwiches, or enjoyed as a snack. Bread has been a main source of food for humans for thousands of years.
