List of Bread Dishes

Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history, it has been a prominent food in large parts of the world and is one of the oldest man-made foods, having been of significant importance since the dawn of agriculture. This article provides a list of dishes that use bread as a primary ingredient.

Bread Dishes[edit | edit source]

Sandwiches[edit | edit source]

A sandwich is a food typically consisting of vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread. The sandwich began as a portable finger food in the Western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide.

Toast[edit | edit source]

Toast is sliced bread that has been browned by exposure to radiant heat. This browning is the result of a Maillard reaction, altering the flavor of the bread and making it firmer so it is easier to spread toppings on it.

Bread Pudding[edit | edit source]

Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert popular in many countries' cuisines, made with stale bread and milk or cream, generally containing eggs, a form of fat such as oil or butter, and depending on whether the pudding is sweet or savory, a variety of other ingredients.

French Toast[edit | edit source]

French toast is a dish made of sliced bread soaked in eggs and typically milk, then fried. It can be served with a variety of toppings including syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.

Croutons[edit | edit source]

Croutons are sautéed or rebaked bread, often cubed and seasoned, that is used to add texture and flavor to salads, notably the Caesar salad, as an accompaniment to soups, or eaten as a snack food.

Bruschetta[edit | edit source]

Bruschetta is an antipasto (starter dish) from Italy consisting of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with diced tomatoes, fresh basil, and sometimes mozzarella.

Bread Rolls[edit | edit source]

A bread roll is a small, often round loaf of bread served as a meal accompaniment (eaten plain or with butter). Bread rolls are common in Europe, especially in Germany, in Italy (called panino or panini) and in Austria. They are also common in Australia, New Zealand, and in Canada.
