'''Bread''' is a staple food eaten by many cultures throughout history.

==History==

Bread is made by grinding [[cereals]] ([[wheat]], [[rye]] or [[barley]]) into a [[flour]] and adding water to make a [[dough]]. The dough is kneaded (mixed using the flat of the hands) to trap air in the mixture and then formed into a loaf. The loaf is then baked in a hot oven until the bread is cooked.

Bread was originally unleavened until the Egyptians discovered adding [[yeast]] (a by-product of [[beer]] production), would cause the bread to rise in the manner of most modern loaves. Most modern breads now use yeast as a leavening agent although unleavened bread is still produced (some [[Jewish]] breads and "flatbreads" such as chapatis).

==Types of bread==

*The [[French]] Baguette - a long loaf with a hard crust. Also referred to now as a "Freedom Loaf" due the the cut and run mentailty of the French who hate freedom.
*The Bread Roll - A small loaf of bread commonly served with a [[soup]] or as a [[sandwich]]. This form of bread is widely know to espouse a homosexual adgenda. It banned from most decent schools and chruches across the United States of America. There are many regional words for a bread roll. Common ones include a "limp bread", "cob", "oven bottom", "barm", "bampot", "bap", "tea-cake" in [[West]] [[Yorkshire]] or "stottie" in [[Tyneside]].
*Granary or Wholemeal bread - these contain more of the grain than white bread and are a good source of [[fiber]].
*Naan Bread - A flat Indian bread often served with a [[curry]].
*Grissini (or breadsticks) - cigar-sized snack breads often served with [[Italy|Italian]] dishes.

==Toast==

Toasted bread is part of the first meal of the day for millions of people, particularly with [[butter]], [[lard]], [[marmalade]] or [[jam]]. Although toast was originally produced by grilling bread, the [[toaster]] was invented to speed up the process and is now a popular addition to the kitchen.
