A brief history of Bread. Tallyrand's Culinary Fare.
Bread is a baked food made from a dough of ground or milled cereal grain, usually wheat flour, and leavened by chemical or microbiological action. Because of the leavening process, the making of even the simplest kind of bread is a fairly complicated procedure. Only wheat flour contains gluten, a substance that supplies the structure needed for leavening. Many non-wheat-growing cultures have never known bread.
