Ten More Unique Breads From Around The Globe – And their Delightful Recipe Secrets

If you want to try making the Moroccan white bread, obtaining the signature slightly coarse texture it is known for, is crucial. For this, use bread flour or another high-gluten flour blend.

2. German Seed Bread

The German seed bread is locally termed "Dreikernebrot." This bread has a thick dough, which makes it very chewy, and it is filled with sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds.

One of the most important things to note when preparing the German seed bread is that its dough must be separated into two and left to ferment overnight. Just before baking, combine the dough and add other ingredients.

3. Slovenian Potato Bread

It is best eaten sliced with a little drizzle of olive oil, tomatoes, basil, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

6. Turkish Lavas Puff Bread

There are many puff breads, but nothing beats the Turkish version of it, the lavas puff bread. As for the recipe secret to preparing it, the dough is adequately yeasted so that it puffs up with steam as it cooks.

7. Puerto Rican Water Bread (Pan de Agua)

This bread is the Puerto Rican version of classic French or Italian bread. The only significant difference is in how it is cooked.

The bread dough is placed in a cold oven set on a pan of boiling water. This causes the bread to continuously rise as the oven heats, thus creating its signature thin and crispy outer crust.

8. Swedish Sweet Yeasted Bread

In Sweden, Sweet yeasted bread is scented by cardamom, which makes it an exceptional creation. The fluffy bread can be eaten at any time of the day and alongside coffee, tea, or even any sauce of your choice.

Without cardamom, you may not be able to achieve the signature scent of this Swedish creation.

9. Danish Kringle

The Danish Kindle is Denmark's sweet bread. It is most commonly eaten during special festivities and may be likened to a cinnamon roll.

Even more charming, the bread is shaped into a  circle and then filled with butter, cinnamon, pecans, and sugar. It may even be topped with icing!

10.Tuscan Focaccia
