Bread,
a "nutritionally dense" food, is high in complex carbohydrates,
which give the body a sustained energy source.
..
Bread
exists in many forms, each evolving from the resources, customs
and beliefs of the people who created it. In periods of failed
crops and poverty, people have lived on bread, yet bread remains
on the plate in times of plenty as well. How can such a simple
food, one which was in fact discovered by accident, have such
universal significance? Perhaps it is that, in its simplicity,
bread draws us together. Regardless where we live, from where
our ancestors came, and what we do, bread has a deep place
in the history of all of us.
Bread
will keep for a few days when stored correctly. The more
moisture in the bread, the longer it will keep. Be sure
to put the bread in an airtight container or a plastic bag
which you can seal tightly. If you are not going to eat
the bread within 2 to 3 days, put it in the freezer. Just
wrap the bread in plastic (double bag), to keep the moisture
in. Then thaw at room temperature or defrost in the microwave.
After thawing, to refresh the bread's crust, take out of
plastic, put on a cookie sheet, and bake at 350°
for 5 minutes.
