Nan-e sangak Iran 🇮🇷 Video: The Caspian Chef Nan-e sangak is a whole wheat leavened flatbread and the national bread of Iran. Its shape can be either triangular or rectangular, and it comes in two main varieties: plain and special, which is topped with poppy and sesame seeds. The name sangak refers to the old method of baking the bread, meaning little stones, because it is traditionally baked in a dome-shaped oven with a surface full of pebbles and stones.

Happy World Bread Day! Discover Turkish breads: In Türkiye 🇹🇷, ata ekmeği — literally “ancestral bread” — is more than just a side. This traditional, rustic loaf is dense, chewy, and deeply satisfying, often made with simple ingredients like whole wheat or stone-ground flour. It's baked in the spirit of old Anatolian methods, where bread was the heart of every meal and a symbol of abundance and respect. It’s still lovingly served today, especially alongside soups, where it’s torn by hand, dipped, and shared — always warm, always fresh. On World Bread Day, ata ekmeği reminds us how bread connects us to our roots, our land, and to each other. A humble staple that carries centuries of tradition in every bite. Video: Agirgurme

A Palestinian man shared a video showing him baking bread using flour he retrieved while navigating active war zones in Gaza. He explained that the bread was not from a bakery or aid package, but made with flour he carried through streets surrounded by tanks and destruction

8. Bread (Whole Grain or Sourdough) Media Myth: All bread is a carb disaster that bloats you and spikes blood sugar. Reality: Whole grain or sourdough bread offers fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Sourdough’s fermentation process lowers its glycemic index and improves gut health by acting as a prebiotic. Studies link whole grains to lower risks of heart disease and diabetes. Avoid white, refined bread with little nutritional value.

Subway employee says she’s debunking what you’ve heard on social media about Subway bread She says it’s not made out of ingredients used in yoga mats and shows exactly how the bread is made Some facts about Subway bread - It’s not legally “bread” under Irish law thanks to a 2020 Irish Supreme Court ruling. Irish law defines bread as a staple food with sugar and fat not exceeding 2% of the flour weight; Subway’s bread had approximately 10% sugar by flour weight (5x the limit) - The “sweet smell” comes from that elevated sugar level (10% sugar) which causes noticeable caramelization during baking - Subway bread contained azodicarbonamide in 2014 as a dough conditioner and bleaching agent, which 100% is used in the manufacturing of yoga mats, shoe soles, and synthetic leather

The first-known leavened bread made with semi-domesticated yeast dates back to 1000 BCE in Egypt. Yet, scholars debate the exact origin, as evidence suggests that Mesopotamians also produced yeast-risen bread. This is a potentially 4,000 years old process

Simit 📍Turkiye 🇹🇷 Taste simit. Turkish simit is a circular bread that's commonly accompanied by either tea or ayran (salted yogurt drink) and consumed for breakfast with fruit preserves or in savory combinations with cheese, pastırma (salt cured beef), and fresh vegetables. It is believed that simit has been baked in Istanbul since the 1500s, while the name hails from the Arabic word samīd, meaning white bread or fine flour. The dough itself is very similar to that of a bagel, except instead of boiling, the proofed dough is shaped and dipped into fruit molasses with water before being baked with a coating of toasted sesame seeds on top.

The art of traditional bread-making in Samarkand… Samarkand non, also known as "Samarkand bread," is a cherished symbol of Uzbekistan's culinary heritage. This traditional bread has been beloved for generations and is a popular choice to accompany the diverse and delightful dishes that define Uzbek cuisine. Coming from the esteemed city of Samarkand, this bread boasts a unique appearance resembling a carefully crafted cake, with a delicately thin center and a wonderfully tender crust. To preserve its authentic preparation, Samarkand non is baked with great care in a traditional tandir—a meticulously designed oven that upholds the highest standards of culinary excellence. There's a captivating legend about this bread too. The Khan of Bukhara wanted to taste the wonderful flavors of Samarkand non, so he brought the best baker from Samarkand to make the bread in Bukhara. But no matter what the baker tried, the bread in Bukhara didn't taste the same as in Samarkand. The Khan was upset and asked the baker for an explanation. The baker thought maybe it was because of different flour in Bukhara. They even tried using water from Samarkand, but nothing worked. Finally, the baker realized that it was the air of Samarkand that made the bread taste so good. But since air couldn't be brought, the baker returned to Samarkand, and the Khan understood, letting him enjoy the original Samarkand bread once more. The story of Samarkand non adds to the charm of this beloved tradition, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to enjoy its delicious taste. Video credit sumeyyeomer on IG

I have never heard of this or had this as a struggle meal. You? I think the texture would gross me out. My struggle meals were usually ramen by itself. Macaroni and cheese. Spaghetti with buttered bread. Buttered noodles. What was yours?

125 grams. That's all that stood between life and death for 900 days. Bread is a sacred symbol of life almost everywhere. In Russia, it became something even more sacred - because of the Blockade of Leningrad. For nearly 900 days, the city was starved. For much of that time, roughly two thirds of its people survived on a single ration: 125 grams of bread a day - a thin slice that stood between life and death. And it wasn’t any of those fancy artisanal or multigrain kinds of bread but engineered out of desperation by Leningrad’s scientists from whatever could be scraped together: dark rye flour mixed with knotweed seed flour, saltbush, birch bark, flour dust, plant pulp, soybean, even cellulose. Bread was rationed. Lose your monthly ration card, and you were effectively sentenced to death. That is why, decades later, many Russians still cannot bring themselves to throw stale bread away.
