There is no physiological need for bread. Many cultures have developed cuisines that are not dependent on bread (and by bread I refer to a leavened loaf made primarily from wheat flour). Asian cultures, where the main grain crop is rice rather than wheat, do not traditionally make use of bread. Any human dietary need for carbohydrates can be readily met without recourse to bread.

To make bread as we know it requires a society that is stable enough to be able to raise wheat in quantity, store it, process it into flour and bake it to a consistent standard - all this implies a settled agricultural society with a structured community, a steady fuel supply and a means of production - an oven. Therefore, nomadic societies do not traditionally eat bread.

However, many cuisines include other bread-like products such as chappati or tortillas that can be used to wrap or encase food or to sop up juices. These products are often unleavened, quick to make, do not necessarily require wheat flour and can be cooked over an open fire or by slapping the dough against the exterior of an earthenware oven.

We 'want' bread for reasons of habit, conditioning and convenience.

Tired Of Stale Bread Make Your Own At Home With a Bread Maker?

How many times have you reached into your pantry and pulled out a loaf of store-bought bread, only to find out that it’s not as fresh as it was when you bought it. Well, maybe it is just as fresh as it was when you bought it, but because it’s store-bought bread, you never really know what you’re going to get. There’s a solution to this problem that you may never have thought of. You can make your own bread at home. This may sound like a monumental challenge, but it’s really not. All you need is the right bread maker to do the job. There are a ton of bread makers on the market that you can choose from, but you need to make sure you get the one that’s going to do what you need. The best part about the bread maker is that it’s easy to use, and you’ll be able to make any kind of bread you want, just by mixing up the ingredients. The main thing you want to look for in a bread maker is size. Bread makers come in a variety of sizes, creating different sized loaves of bread. Your situation is going to determine the size of bread maker you need. If you live on your own, you may want to go for a smaller model, since you’ll be making it for yourself. If you’re making bread for your family, you’ll want a bigger machine to help keep up with all the bread you’ll run through during the week. You’ll also want to find a machine that you’re comfortable with. Some of the more upscale models throw in a bunch of features that you may not be used to, so stick with a mid-range model that’s easy to use and understand. Making your own bread at home can help save you from the stale, store- bought bread that awaits you in your pantry. Making bread at home can be easy, but it all starts with the equipment, so make sure you find the right bread maker for you.
