Baking Bread (Real Life)




English, baby! Daily Podcasts show

Summary: Do you know which food is made around the world but looks very different, depending on where you are? It’s bread! From flat breads baked over an open fire, to dark, hearty whole grains, to light, fluffy, white loaves for sandwiches, bread can look like almost anything. Some cultures have specific rules for when to eat bread and how to get it. For example, people in some countries traditionally eat bread for dinner. In other places, people get up before the sun to buy bread at the local bakery. Whether you buy it off the store shelf or hot out of the oven, it’s important to know what goes into the food you eat and if it has high nutritional value. One way to be sure of the ingredients is to bake bread at home! The ingredients for a simple loaf are easy: flour, water, salt, yeast, and sugar. Yeast takes time to rise, so you do have to plan ahead. But the smell of fresh-baked bread is definitely worth the time and energy it takes.
