    Types of Bread

    Bread is a universal food. Perhaps the first types of bread were made from crushed acorns mixed with water and dried in the sun. Bread making was an organized industry in early Egypt. There have been bakers guilds or unions since the early middle ages. Housewives rioted for bread at the dawn of the French Revolution. The remains of bakeries were found in Pompeii after the excavations were complete.

    Very few of us knows much about bread making in today’s industrial scale. Very often we say, I have to run to the store for a loaf of bread. We never give a thought to the work and research involved in this simple statement. Commercial bakers do constant research to decide on product placement. The people delivering bread have to take an educated guess as to how much to order based on past sales. Weather has a direct bearing on the formulation of baking mixes for a particular day. This all works to provide variety and freshness of the many types of bread.

    White and Wheat Breads

    These can be used in all type of recipes for sandwiches, for morning toast and for children’s favorite peanut butter and jelly treats after school.

    Stone Ground Breads

    Use this for toast, special sandwiches and try it toasted and broken into pieces for the base of your stuffing mix next time.

    High Protein Breads

    These days, everyone is diet conscious and nearly every new diet calls for bread of one type or another. Of course, the high protein breads are perfect for these and just as good for everyday use. Use this for sandwiches, toasted and ground up for cereal. Grind up protein and raisin breads for daily cereal.

    Muffins

    Who hasn’t tried muffins? Toast these and let your imagination run wild. These make delicious individual pizzas, open faced hamburgers from the broiler, and try them with bits of bacon, or salad seasoning mixed with butter and toasted. Have you tried these toasted and served with fresh fruit for a shortcake? Use any seasonal fruit, strawberries, peaches or sliced bananas.

    Hamburger Buns

    Saturday night Sloppy Jo’s, the Sunday afternoon barbecue and how can they be complete without the hamburger bun? Try these toasted and served as individual pizzas. Try these toasted and with peanut butter. They are very good for chicken or egg salad sandwiches in lunches and as toasted cheese sandwiches.

    Hot Dog Buns

    The American Favorite. They are great for a camping trips and for a quick snack. Steam them and serve at Little League games. Use them for hamburger sticks or Terryaki Burgers.

    Raisin Bread

    This type is available as plain raisin bread, nutty raisin bread and cinnamon raisin bread. This is ideal for morning toast or an afternoon snack. Try this for your next bread pudding or with baked apples. Have you tried this for French Toast? It is really good!

    Brown and Serve Rolls

    What holiday dinner is complete without them? Try them for other meals also. It is surprising how hot rolls make a simple casserole tops with the family. Split the rolls before baking and butter and add cinnamon sugar for breakfast.

    Low Sodium

    This is essential for salt free diets. This seems to have a flat taste, but can be dressed up in sandwiches or toasted.

    Salt Rising

    My Favorite. If you can stand the smell while it is toasting, it makes the morning toast and coffee great. This bread is hard to find and may only be available in the store bakery.

    Rye and Pumpernickel Bread

    Who can think of a party without these breads? They are excellent with any meat or sandwich filling. Try them toasted or as grilled cheese.

    French Bread and Rolls

    There are so many ways to use these types of bread. Garlic French Bread is everyone’s favorite. What is french onion soup without crusty french bread? In this book, you will find a recipe for chicken baked in french bread that will become a favorite with you and your family.

    Now for the french rolls. You can use these any way you use french bread. Makes delicious stuffed salad rolls or poor boy sandwiches to make ahead and freeze.
