Recommended: A short essay on bread

I am a firm believer that freshly baked bread is one of the greatest joys in the world. It is like a blanket fresh out of the dryer. Its decadent, crunchy crust, baked to golden brown perfection, and the warm, fluffy inside leaves little to be desired. The sensation of biting into freshly baked bread is like no other. The feeling of the crust crunching between your teeth and the fluffy, cloud-like interior sends your senses to a euphoric-like state. The sheer and utter bliss of eating good bread leaves you full and satisfied. That being said, not all bread is good, which is a shame, really. There is some bread out there that is not worthy of consumption and should be avoided at all cost, but, regardless, there is something special about the taste of all bread, whether its texture is lacking or not.
Bread is one of the greatest foods of all time and has been around for centuries, filling the stomachs of everyone, rich and poor. It is inexpensive, easy to make, and downright delicious. The wonderful thing about bread is that it is an incredibly versatile food with flavors ranging from...

    The author is showing how the bakers dealt with this opposition. The reading showed the importance of bread in that area, as well; showing just how important it was. To show how high in demand bread was, the author writes, “The average Amsterdammer obtained an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day” (7). The author writes about how the bakers had a sense of unity when confronted by the burgomasters and were thus able to disagree with the policies in a civilized and cohesive way. Because they felt that their rights were being infringed, some of the bakers compared their plight to that of slavery. Although they were being controlled by other people, the bakers still had freedom and liberty (unlike slaves) as they were citizens of the country. There was a man named Peter Stuyvesant who was sent to New Amsterdam to help resolve these issues. While he set some rules and regulations for the bakers to follow, he was not viewed very favorably by them. He did not consider inflation a factor in his decision making, which was a big mistake. The bakers simply chose not to bake after learning about this, which led to bread shortages. Stuyvesant threatened the bakers that he would close

  • The History and Development of Sliced Bread

    1470 Words  | 3 Pages

    Bread was one of the first foods that was made instead of grown or hunted. Bread dates all the way back to the Neolithic era. By the twentieth century, Americans consumed bread in greater quantities than any other food. Bread has constantly evolved since the Neolithic age, but the manner in which it was served did not change drastically until 1928. Even before the bread-slicing machine, sliced bread was controversial. The act of slicing bread before it was necessary was banned during World War One (Bobrow-Strain). Thus, housewives were forced to cut bread at the table as needed so it would not go stale and be wasted. This prevented the bread from having to be thrown out unnecessarily and new bread, which could have gone to the soldiers, to be bought for the family (“Fascinating Facts”).

    Humans are born with an innate desire for sweet tastings foods, as carbohydrates act as brain fuel and main source of energy for bodily functions. (Beauchamp, Cowart, 1987) Sugar delivers sweet taste, enhances flavors when added to other food components and balances out undesirable attributes, such as acidity and bitterness. Heating sugar above its melting point results in breakdown of its structure and produces desirable brown flavor notes known as caramel. In addition to caramelization, at high temperatures, sugar combined with protein generates browning through Maillard reaction, which also contributes to the characteristic taste and aroma of baked goods and aids in moisture

  • Gluten Free Bread Essay

    Food advertisements, supermarket displays, and restaurant menus increasingly highlight foods, particularly bread, as being gluten-free. Gluten consists of two proteins, gliadin and glutamine, which combine and help produce light and fluffy bread (Lord, 2012). Wheat is bred for its high gluten content which serves efficiently well for all bakers and chefs. Today, gluten is becoming a problem in society since allergic reactions to the protein have increased. Bread is a worldwide staple food and gluten is a predominant aspect within the dough mixture. Gluten free bread is basically fixed as it was thousands of years ago without the fermentation of yeast and the mixture of sourdough.
