About Bread crust

Bread crust is the outer layer of bread that forms during baking, resulting from the Maillard reaction between sugars and amino acids. Its texture varies from crisp to chewy depending on the type of bread. Originating from the same dough as the interior, bread crust contains similar nutrients, including carbohydrates, protein, and fiber, though it may have slightly higher antioxidant levels due to browning during baking. Found in cuisines worldwide, bread crust is often enjoyed plain, toasted, or incorporated into recipes like croutons or breadcrumbs. While crust offers nutritional benefits like fiber that supports digestion and antioxidants for cellular health, its higher concentration of acrylamide—a compound formed during high-heat cooking—may raise concerns if consumed in excessive amounts. Overall, bread crust is a wholesome part of bread that enhances texture and flavor while contributing valuable nutrients.
