Some basic yeast bread recipes are enhanced with other ingredients that change the characteristics of the bread including the texture, flavor, and color. Ingredients, such as eggs, butter, oil, or milk change the texture of the crumb and crust and provide a richness of flavor that is often lacking in basic breads. Other breads may include ingredients that simply add flavor to the bread, such as herbs, spices, sugar, honey, nuts, whole grans, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and even meats and cheeses. Some breads contain both enriching and flavoring ingredients and may be almost a meal in themselves.
