Brazilians love a type of bread called French bread. It is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. People often eat it for breakfast with eggs, cheese, or butter that melts on the warm bread.
Making this bread has a few steps. First, the baker mixes flour, cold water, and yeast in a big machine. This mix becomes a soft dough. The dough needs to rest for about 15 minutes. After resting, a machine shapes the dough into small rolls. Then, the dough must rest again for three more hours to get bigger. After the second rest, the baker puts the bread in a very hot oven to bake. The small dough becomes a big, delicious bread. People have made bread for thousands of years. The first bread with yeast was made 6,000 years ago! It is a simple but wonderful food.
