Pairing bread with wine may seem like an easy endeavor: The bread is a blank canvas, right? Well, not so much. These days, we live in what might be called the golden age of bread: From the yeasty goodness of authentic French-style baguettes to focaccias that are baked with all sorts of toppings, there are nearly as many breads available as there are wines with which to pair them. And even beyond that, there's the questions of what role the bread will be playing: Is it a base for cheese, a sponge for sopping up remaining sauce, a side dish on its own, or even a dessert? The possibilities are endless. Fortunately, the same rules apply to pairing bread with wine as you would use to pairing anything else with it. Just follow these simple suggestions and you'll be filling up with carbs in no time.
