breadmaking
Dough to loaf
Breadmaking is the process of making bread—mixing flour, water, yeast, and salt into dough, then kneading, rising, and baking it.
The term covers both home baking and commercial production: She took up breadmaking during the pandemic.
The rhythms of breadmaking—knead, wait, punch down, wait again—require patience.
