Modern Marvels - Bread (Engl)

Flour and water, a little salt, maybe something to make it rise if you like, and you've got the main source of nourishment for half the world. Beyond the basics, though, there is an almost infinite variety to the ways we make and enjoy bread. From shapes to toppings, from frying to baking, from sacred ceremonies to snack time, bread can be adapted in as many ways as we can imagine.

MODERN MARVELS® examines every aspect of bread-making, which is equal parts science and art. Discover the multitudinous forms bread takes — bagels, baguettes and pitas, to name a few — and see the special relationship every culture has to its daily BREAD.
