Pore (bread)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pores (bread))
Sourdough bread pores

Pores are the air pockets found in leavened bread, where carbon dioxide from the fermentation process creates a network of primarily interconnected void structures.[1][2] The degree to which pores form are a major determiner in the texture ("crumb") of the bread.[3][4] Pore size varies between varieties of bread. Sourdough bread is a variety with larger pores. Rye bread has smaller pores and a denser crumb.[5]
