What are the parts of a loaf or bread called end pieces heel The outside is crust inside crumb But what bottom and top crust?

You're almost there! Here's a breakdown of the parts of a loaf of bread:

End Pieces

* Heel: The dense, somewhat hard end of the loaf where the dough met the pan, often considered the most flavorful part.

* Toe: The opposite end of the loaf, often the most "pointed" end.

Inside

* Crumb: The soft, spongy interior of the loaf.

* Crust: The hard, browned exterior of the loaf.

Top and Bottom

* Top Crust: The crust on the upper surface of the loaf, often with a "bloom" (the sheen from the oven's heat).

* Bottom Crust: The crust on the lower surface of the loaf, which often has a slightly more pronounced crust due to direct contact with the baking surface.
