Bread spice mix

Bread spice mix is a blend of spices used to flavor homemade and commercially produced bread. It typically contains caraway, coriander, fennel, anise, and star anise in various proportions. It gives bread a characteristic aromatic fragrance and a slightly sweet, earthy flavor. It is used when baking wholegrain, rye, and sourdough breads. It can be mixed directly into the dough or sprinkled on the surface of the loaf before baking. Besides bread, it also works well in other baked goods, marinades, or to season soups. It is available ready-made or can be blended at home.
