Throughout history, bread has been a prominent and staple food in many parts of the world. It is also one of the oldest human-made foods and provides energy in the form of carbohydrates, essential nutrients, dietary fiber, and phytochemicals. In the long history of bread, here are some bread fun facts you may find interesting:
- No One Knows Who Invented Bread
There is evidence of breadmaking in early Egypt, Rome, parts of Europe, and East Asia. No one knows where breadmaking actually started. - The Baker’s Dozen
A baker’s dozen is commonly understood to mean 13 pieces. The baker’s dozen are believed to have originated in Medieval England, where bakers would give an extra piece when selling a dozen to avoid being penalized for selling short weight. - The Crumb of the Bread
The inside part of the bread that is incased by the crust is actually called the crumb of the bread. As a result of this, we call the small bits that fall off the bread “crumbs.” Indulge in some delicious bread “crumb” and crumbs at our bakeshop in Ota, Ogun. - Pastry Versus Bread
Pastries are differentiated from bread by having a higher fat content, which contributes to a flaky or crumbly texture. They come in many different sizes and shapes and can be either sweet or savory.
