This is the little lip of crust that pulls away from the rest of the crust along the score line made by the baker. It’s worth noting that this is not an exhaustive list and that there may be other food additives approved for use in the UK. However, their use in bread is less common as most bread products have a short shelf life and do not require these types of preservatives.

The starter cultivates yeast and lactobacilli in a mixture of flour and water, making use of the microorganisms already present on flour; it does not need any added yeast. Bread can be spread with butter, dipped into liquids such as gravy, olive oil, or soup; [28] it can be topped with various sweet and savory spreads, or used to make sandwiches containing meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.

In addition to their effects on leavening, fats also serve to tenderize breads and preserve freshness. Compounding these concerns is the issue of bread labelling in the UK as supermarkets are not obliged to disclose the presence of additives in bread due to food regulations.
