Bread made in the province of Valladolid has a great tradition that goes back to the ninth century (see also: [[History of bread]]). In fact, Holy Roman Emperor [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]], during their retreat in the monastery of Yuste, made him get the bread in Valladolid and during the 16th century the master bakers members were financially supported by the Crown.

The typically Castilian bread receives the name of "Candeal bread", "sobao o bregado" ("sobao or labored"), because since remote times in Castile the wheat variety most used is the [[durum]]. It is a thin crust of bread and lightly toast, miga very white and compact with a fine texture and distinctive flavor. This type of bread is suitable to accompany [[red meat]]s, [[stew]]s or [[legume]]s accompanied by wines from the province. Traditionally it is made by hand, with an amassed slow fermentation and a prolonged, finished cooking in the wood-fired oven.

Under this denomination, fall different varieties; among them the most prominent is the variety of "lechuguino bread", characterized by its typical drawing and care that gives the name to the variety, since it was formerly known as, especially in rural areas, "lechuguino" to those people who were overly arranged.

Other varieties are the typical bread of four beds, with a characteristic splitting of the earth on which the central part is separated from the four masons or edges, the bread of tables, the bread of pulley, with a slit made with a [[Twine|string]] that imitates a [[pulley]], the white bar or peaks and the [[Fabiola (bread)|Fabiola]], created in 1961 by a baker from [[Valladolid]] in honor of [[Queen Fabiola of Belgium]].

Other types not so traditional in the province but very consumed in the zone are the rustic bar and the bar of flame, that in Valladolid takes the common name of toolbar riche.
