Bread by Lissa Coffey |

Bread is one of the oldest known foods in the world, its origin dating as far back as 1000 BC in Egypt. The Greeks picked up the technology for making bread from the Egyptians, and from there the practice spread throughout Europe. At one point, bread was so important to the Romans that the government was in charge of baking the bread! In the middle ages, bread was one of the few foods that sustained the poor through the dark age.
In 1762, when the Earl of Sandwich was playing cards, he slapped a piece of meat and cheese between two slices of bread so that he could eat and play at the same time. The “sandwich” was officially invented! Today bread remains an important part of our diet, and lifestyle. Bread is a healthy and nutritious food that can be served in so many different ways. Most of us buy our bread from the grocery store or bakery, but we can make our own bread by hand, or with a machine, and get the wonderful aroma of fresh baked bread wafting throughout the kitchen!
