Traditional Breads From Around the World

A photo tour of the loaves, rings, rounds and flatbreads that countries and communities eat every day or save for their holidays. Each picture shows the bread itself, whole, torn open or straight from its oven, with a caption on where it comes from and what gives it its crust and crumb. The test for a place here is simple: a bread with a clear home and a shape you would recognize on a market stall. Pastries and viennoiserie such as croissants are left to their own gallery, and this is a set of pictures to look at, not a baking plan.
