Ground grain (flour) (classically from wheat)
+ water
+ yeast
+ labour
+ heat (energy)
There are few if any real rules after the basic recipe.
Mix the yeast with some water, add flour, blend whip knead as you wish, bake or fry.
Everything else, in every bread recipe and every marketing story in the world, is hyperbole.
Which means that what you "like" in bread... is a cultural or, more likely, commercial impression.
Bread is the staff of life.
Or rice or maize or other grains... where the principle of "staff of life" remains the same.
Please try to hold ownership over the staff of life.
I've made my own bread for years, now. Here are some pics.
