Baking bread from scratch is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. Seeing your dough evolve into a real bread and eating that freshly baked bread, yum!
Bread, whether it’s a flatbread, or a specific ingredient, is a recurring topic here on FoodCrumbles.com, there’s a lot to write about it. Below you can find all our posts related to bread, but if you’re looking for a more structured way to find what you’re looking for, use the mindmap below!
A common snack for breakfast, or in between meals, in the Netherlands is a product called ‘ontbijtkoek’, ‘kruidkoek’ or ‘peperkoek’*. It’s best translated as a soft gingerbread cake. It’s soft, and moist, and contains a mix of spices. It’s so…
Have you ever dreamed of developing and selling your own kitchen tools? Have you never been fully satisfied with the tools that are already out there? Do you see plenty of opportunities to tweak and improve existing designs? If so,…
We love kitchen tools that 1) don’t take up too much space and 2) have a good chunk of science to them that we can discuss in detail here on the website. We’re fans of our InstantPot (aka pressure cooker)…

If I had to choose only one type of food I’d be allowed to eat for the rest of my life, freshly baked bread would rank high on my list of contenders. The smell, whether it comes from a hot…
Have you ever thought about how major historical events relied on seemingly small inventions? Napoleon has Nicolas Appert to thank for his invention of canning. The US would have had a harder time in World War II without the invention…
Most flatbreads are daily staple foods. They’re easy and quick to make, often without the need for an oven. This of an Indian chapati or a Greek pita bread. But just like you can make complicated breads such as croissants…
Before I even started watching the Great British Bake Off (and got hooked quite quickly) I got a cookbook from one of the participants of this great British baking tv-show. Someone who had discovered the magic of the Great British…
If you read this title and are wondering why on earth people would eat a biscuit with gravy, you’re probably not from the South of the USA. You probably prefer eating your biscuit with a cup of tea. Even though…
