GRIDDLEBREAD Meaning and
Definition
-
Griddlebread is a noun that refers to a type of bread or bread-like dough that is cooked or baked on a griddle. It is a combination of two words, "griddle" and "bread", denoting the method of cooking and the form of food respectively.
A griddle is a flat cooking surface, typically made of cast iron or metal, that is heated from below. It usually does not have sides or rims and is used for various cooking methods like frying, toasting, or searing. Bread, on the other hand, is a staple food made from flour, water, and usually yeast, that is typically baked and consumed as a main source of carbohydrates.
Griddlebread can be made from a variety of dough, such as dough made from grains (e.g., wheat, corn) or potatoes, or dough that is leavened (e.g., with yeast or baking soda) or unleavened (e.g., without yeast or baking soda). The dough is usually flattened into a thin, circular or oval shape and then cooked on the griddle until it is golden brown and cooked through.
Griddlebread is commonly associated with certain regional cuisines, such as Indian roti or chapati, Mexican tortillas, Scottish oatcakes, or American pancakes. It is often served as a breakfast item, a side dish, or as a base for other ingredients like toppings, fillings, or wraps. Griddlebread provides a versatile and quick way of making bread-like foods without having to use an oven, making it accessible to those without extensive baking equipment.
