The Bread Edition
On July 7th, 1928 the first *KNOWN* pre-sliced bread was sold by the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri. So when we say "the best thing since sliced bread," now you know just how old that is. According to archaeological finds though, bread is thought to be integral to human civilization and has existed in some form for at least 30,000 years!

Wild bread : sourdough reinvented : flour + water + air
by MaryJane Butters
Is the world ready to rethink bread making? MaryJane Butters thinks so. Wild Bread completely reinvents the concept of healthier-for-you, naturally fermented sourdough. Until now, sourdough was perceived as too much work and sour-tasting, artisan-style-only loaves. In Wild Bread, her quick and easy 1 minute 2x/day technique demonstrates the use of eight different types of flours for each bread featured--everything from gluten-free brown-rice flour to quinoa to common white to heirloom whole wheat--for a whopping 295 recipes and 475 photographs. Using her step-by-step method, every style of bread imaginable, including gluten-free, will loft with wild abandon without the purchase of a single packet of not-so-healthy, store-bought yeast. In nutritionally superior wild-yeast bread, fermentation triggers the release of vital nutrients and breaks down carbohydrates.
