I don't know if you have ever eaten this kind of bread?
When I first saw this bread called "Great Leba", I was really shocked. One is because its bulk is too big, much larger than ordinary bread; the other is because its taste is particularly rough, it is a little difficult to chew, and it has a full feeling of fullness when eating a little.
What is "Leba"? What is the difference between it and ordinary bread? Next, Lazy Meow will talk to everyone about the topic of "Leba", let's take a look.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >what is "Great Leba"? </h1>
The word Leba, from the Russian word, is a transliteration of the Russian word for "bread." This bread originated in Russia, and after coming to China, people directly named it in Russian transliteration, and because it was too large, they used to add a "big" word to its name. Therefore, if you see "Great Leba", you must react immediately, which is a big bread that Russians often eat.
Friends who like to eat bread should find that our Chinese-style bread generally tastes loose and soft. Take the honey bun that has been popular for a while before, it is really a soft taste without chewing. Like the bread eaten by Europeans, the taste is relatively hard.
Russia is located on the Eurasian continent, and the entire country spans two continents, Asia and Europe. Although three-quarters of the geographical area belongs to Asia, in terms of eating habits, Russians and Europeans are more similar, so the bread that Russians eat (Great Lieba) is not at all like the ordinary bread we usually eat, but has some similarities with European bags.

Regarding the difference between the Great Leba and the ordinary bread we usually eat, I summarize them into the following 3 points:
1, the raw materials are different
Bread is a popular food in the world, bread from different places, different varieties of bread, although the preparation method is different, but in the choice of main raw materials, a large part of the flour used is high gluten wheat flour. The raw materials used to make Da Lieba are not the same as ordinary bread.
Authentic Russian Daebar, the main ingredient used is whole wheat flour, and it will be accompanied by maltose, beer, salt, yeast and other accessories, which can be said to be pure whole wheat bread. Many of the fake "whole wheat breads" we usually eat are just mixed with whole wheat flour, but the first in the ingredient list is ordinary wheat flour.
Therefore, from the perspective of the raw materials selected, the authentic Da Lieba uses whole wheat flour, which belongs to coarse grains, while ordinary bread uses mostly high-gluten wheat flour, which belongs to fine grains.
2, the appearance is different
From the appearance of distinguishing between the big lieba and ordinary bread, it is actually very simple, as long as you have seen it, the second time you can basically immediately recognize it. The size of the big lieba is very large, the authentic Russian great leba is round, weighing up to 5 pounds a loaf of bread, which can be said to be a heavy sense of weight, and some people have also compared it to a "pot lid".
Compared with the big leba, ordinary bread is much lighter, there are large and small, and the large ones are also within the controllable range, generally not up to 2 pounds and 1 piece. Judging from the outer texture and internal organizational structure of the bread, Leba looks darker and rougher because of the use of whole wheat flour. Ordinary bread looks more creamy white in color and has a more delicate organizational structure.
3, the taste is different
Big Leba can be said to be hard to eat, very chewy, because the texture is too rough, the first time to eat friends, will also feel a little scraped throat. However, after eating habits, it will feel more and more fragrant the more chewy, and because of the strong sense of fullness, it is not easy to eat too much.
Unlike the hardness and roughness of The Great Lieba, ordinary bread tastes sweeter, has a soft and smooth taste, and you can feel the full sweetness and aroma in the mouth, but it is basically not chewy, because it is too soft. It is precisely because of this that it is easy to eat too much, and it is not suitable for friends who want to lose weight.
In fact, I have wondered why the taste of Da Lieba and ordinary bread is so different, and finally came to the conclusion that when Russians eat Da Lieba, they regard it as a daily staple food, just like we eat rice steamed buns, because there are side dishes, so the taste does not need to be modified too much. When we eat ordinary bread, in addition to filling our stomachs, we eat more as dessert snacks.
Nowadays, in Harbin, Xinjiang and other places in China, under the influence of Russian culture, there are also production of large leba, but on the basis of pure Russian-style large leba, some improvements have been made to the tastes of our people. For example, some of the whole wheat flour was replaced by wheat flour, the water was replaced by milk, butter and sugar were added, and various nuts were added to the bread, so that the audience of the "Chinese big lieba" was wider.
【Lazy Meow Experience】
After the above sharing, I believe that everyone can have a basic understanding of the difference between Great Leba and ordinary bread. In fact, to summarize in a big vernacular, the great lieba belongs to a kind of whole wheat bread, which is equivalent to coarse grain, while ordinary bread is made of fine flour and belongs to fine grains.
In terms of taste, the acceptable population of ordinary bread is wider; but from the perspective of nutritional value, after all, it is a coarse grain, and the authentic Daeba should be better.
