From [Bread]

The word bread has two meanings. One is that it is used symbolically and with a sense of reverence for food that nourishes humans, such as the food of life. In the narrow sense, bread is made by adding water, yeast and other ingredients to flour of grains such as wheat or rye, kneading it (called dough), and then fermenting it and baking it.
[Breads of the world]
However, outside Europe, a variety of foods similar to bread exist, mainly in wheat-growing regions of the world.
