Basic breads are those that are made with a simple recipe of a few ingredients, are yeast leavened, and are usually easy for the home cook to prepare, requiring only some basic skills and a few simple pieces of kitchen equipment. Plain yeast breads include pan breads and hearth breads: pan breads are baked in a pan or container placed on an oven rack while hearth breads are baked on flat pans, stones, tiles, or directly on the floor of the oven.rnrnBasic breads can be prepared with refined flour, whole-grain flour, or coarsely ground meal. Some basic breads are made with a variety of flours milled from different grains to create breads with unusual flavors or textures. Wheat flour is often added to non-wheat bread dough so that the dough will rise effectively.
