1. The Different Types Of Bread From Around The World

2. Bagel Country of Origin: Poland Bagels are a ring-shaped bread commonly eaten for breakfast plain, toasted, with  cream cheese  or as a sandwich. This type of bread originated in Jewish communities in Poland back in 1610. Bagels can be plain, made from various yeasts, topped with seeds or infused with berries or chocolate chips.

3. Baguette Country of Origin: France A baguette is a long, thin loaf of bread commonly served with a simple spread or  butter . Baguette translates roughly to “wand” or “baton.” Originally, a classic French loaf was round, with a flavorful crust and a thick and heavy interior. As more and more customers began  preferring the crust  to the interior, the bread was stretched into the oblong shape it is today.

4. Banana Bread Country of Origin: the U.S. This sweet bread is made from mashed bananas and is incredibly moist, almost like a  cake . The recipe became popular in the 1930s as a result of the mass production   of baking powder and baking soda , both of which are key ingredients. During the Great Depression, people would use their old bananas to make this bread to avoid wasting food. There are many different variations of the recipe, and the bread can contain chocolate chips, nuts, raisins or can even be made into muffins .

5. Breadstick Country of Origin: Italy Bread sticks are long, thin sticks of bread commonly served on the side of Italian dishes or as appetizers. According to a Turin, Italy, tradition, they were invented in the town by a baker in the 1670s. They’re commonly served warm and topped with garlic or cheese, but can also be a served as a dessert covered in cinnamon sugar.

6. Brioche Bread Country of Origin: France The rich and tender brioche is light, fluffy and crumbly because of its high content of  butter  and eggs. This bread is centuries old and so rich that it’s delicious served plain with butter, but it is even better when made into desserts such as bread pudding or pain au chocolat

7. Brown Bread Country of Origin: Ireland Brown bread is made of whole wheat , wheat germ, and brown sugar, and can be eaten as part of a traditional Irish breakfast covered with butter and jam. Traditionally, brown bread was favored by the lower class because of its low price .

8. Challah Country of Origin: Israel Challah is a special braided bread, typically eaten on the Sabbath and other major Jewish holidays. The braids are meant to resemble intertwined arms symbolizing love. Traditionally, a small portion of the challah dough is removed during preparation and burned for a blessing ritual . This decorative bread is made from eggs and topped with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.

9. Ciabatta Bread Country of Origin: Italy Ciabatta is white bread made from wheat flour,  salt , yeast and water. It’s distinguishable due to its airy inside and crisp outside, which is similar to French baguettes. This bread is often served alongside olive oil and its fluffy interior soaks the oil right up. It’s a relatively new type of bread — it was created in 1982  and didn’t take off in commercial markets until the 1990s.

10. Pita Bread Region of Origin: Middle East Pita bread has been traced back to Mesopotamia around 25000 B.C., and is now traditionally associated with Greek and Middle Eastern foods. Pita is a slightly leavened flatbread and has a pocket that is stuffed so the bread becomes a sandwich or a wrap.

11. Pretzel Country of Origin: Germany Soft pretzels are a type of baked bread traditionally twisted into a knot-like shape and sprinkled with salt. This type of bread has been around for centuries and, along with the classic twisted shape, has variations including pretzel buns, pretzel nuggets and pretzel dogs . The classic pretzel has many ways it can be served, with various toppings and seasonings, dipping sauces and can even be used for sandwiches

12. Rye Bread Region of Origin: Europe Rye bread was popular throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. It can be made into many different variations, including flat rye breads, multigrain bread with caraway seeds mixed in or German pumpernickel, and it can be served many different ways in all meals. The breads range in taste, texture and even color, depending on other ingredients added to the recipe. To be classified as rye bread, the dough must be made at least partially with rye flour.

13. Sourdough Bread Country of Origin: Unknown Sourdough bread is an ancient type of bread — it is even older than metal. The oldest loaf of sourdough found was in Switzerland and dates back to around 3500 B.C. , but it’s thought that the Ancient Egyptians also practiced making this bread. Sourdough is made by slowly fermenting the dough naturally with bacteria and yeast, and has a mild sour taste.

14. Tortilla Origin: Mexico Tortillas are thin, unleavened flatbread traditionally made from finely ground corn, though today it can be made from flour or whole wheat as well. It’s thought that tortillas were created in 10,000 B.C.  by the Ancient Aztecs and Mayans in the mountains of Mexico. It’s a staple of Mexican cuisine and vital to many dishes including burritos and   tacos .

15. White Bread Country of Origin: the U.S. Commonly referred to simply as “sandwich bread,” white bread is most often found as loaves lining the aisles of your local supermarket. It’s a light bread made with wheat flour from which the bran and germ layers have been removed. Since its origins in the 1950s, the sliced bread took off in the U.S. with each person eating an average of a pound and a half  of it each week by the 1960s. It is only in recent years that the popularity of white bread has begun to falter to other options, namely wheat bread.

16. Whole Wheat Bread Country of Origin: the U.S. Whole wheat bread is a type of brown bread made from flour that is milled partially or entirely from whole wheat grains. Traditionally, the wealthy ate white bread while the poor ate brown bread, but this ideal was reversed in the 20th century when whole grain bread was discovered to have a greater nutritional value , including being a good source of fiber, iron and magnesium.
