What is Bread with chicory?
Bread with chicory is a grain-based loaf made with chicory added to the dough. Depending on the recipe, the chicory may come from the root or leaves, lending the bread an earthy, slightly bitter note. It is a variation rather than a single regional bread style, so its flavour and texture can differ between bakers and recipes.
The slices work well toasted or fresh, for breakfast, sandwiches, or alongside soup; a mild cheese or savoury spread balances the chicory’s bitterness. As a grain-based bread, it is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with 5.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a more filling meal, pair it with eggs, beans, or vegetables, or use it as a flavourful base for an open sandwich.
