What is a "bread board"?
A bread board is a flat, sturdy surface used for preparing and cutting bread. It is typically made of wood, plastic, or bamboo and comes in various shapes and sizes. Bread boards provide a stable and hygienic surface for slicing bread or kneading dough. They often feature a groove around the perimeter to catch any crumbs, preventing mess on the countertop. Some bread boards also have non-slip feet or grips to keep them in place during use. Additionally, bread boards can be used as serving platters for bread, cheese, or charcuterie, adding a rustic touch to meal presentations.
