Breads, Rolls & Pastries
Breads, rolls, and pastries are staple baked goods enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, each offering unique textures and flavours.
Bread is typically made from flour, water, yeast, and salt, with variations including white, wholemeal, rye, sourdough, and multigrain. It can be soft and fluffy like brioche or dense and hearty like rye bread.
Rolls are smaller, individual portions of bread, often served with meals or used for sandwiches, with varieties such as dinner rolls, crusty rolls, and soft hamburger buns.
Pastries, on the other hand, are richer and more delicate, often made with butter or other fats to create a flaky, tender texture. Common types include croissants, Danish pastries, and puff pastry, used in treats like éclairs and profiteroles.
Sweet pastries, such as cinnamon scrolls, fruit tarts, and custard-filled delicacies, are popular for breakfast or dessert, while savoury options, like sausage rolls and cheese-filled turnovers, are great for a snack.
Whether simple or elaborate, breads, rolls, and pastries play a significant role in both everyday meals and special occasions.
