Bread was a food typically produced by mixing flour with other ingredients to create a dough. This dough was then shaped into loaves or buns before being baked. Among the various types of bread were bucco bread and samana spiced loaves found on Sedri Minor, as well as cuanut bread from Coruscant. Additionally, there were dao-ben steamed buns originating from Akiva, denta bean buns and five-blossom bread from Naboo, haroun bread from Tatooine, munch-fungus loaves from Ryloth, Mustafarian Lava Buns from Mustafar, and ventrin bread on Hynestia Prime. A fried variation was known as Ksharra bread, while muftari bread was distinguished by its salted and spiced flavor.
Bread served as a base for creating dishes like bread pudding and various sandwiches, including nut-paste sandwiches and shawda club sandwiches. The flatbread known as ronto wrappers was specifically utilized for crafting Ronto Wraps. Sometimes, bread was a component of or the entirety of rations. The Galactic Empire, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and the New Republic incorporated dehydrated polystarch into their rations. This polystarch, when combined with water, underwent a chemical reaction to produce polystarch portion bread. First Order stormtroopers were provided with mealbread in their dining facilities. Some of the ration packs sold on the Wayward Current included both bread and nutrient paste.
