Breads of Europe


Europe is a land of 10,000 breads, so we clearly can't describe them all here. We will settle for just some that have particular culinary uses, are particularly traditional in their homeland, or are breads we have published recipes for.

In the past, breads varied greatly from one region of Europe to another, because of differences in the available grains and the means to bake bread. While breads are becoming more uniform, this past still has a strong influence on breads preferred in the various regions.
