This document discusses bread and fermented rice products. It provides definitions of bread as a staple food made from flour, water, and yeast that is baked. The bread making process involves mixing, kneading, fermentation, shaping, baking, and packaging. Fermentation is performed by yeast and lactic acid bacteria, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These microorganisms produce gases and acids that cause dough to rise and develop flavor. The document also discusses the production of puto, a Filipino rice cake, and bibingka, noting they involve a natural fermentation process similar to bread.
