Bread Is GLOCAL
"Bread is basically what your culture says it is," according to Rubel, the author of "Bread: A Global History." "It doesn't need to be made with any particular kind of flour." Hunter-gatherers in Jordan's Black Desert made bread with tubers and domesticated grain around 10,000 B.C. Germany's bakers steam loaves of dense rye, Venezuelan arepas which are made of corn dough, is patted straight onto a sizzling griddle, and Armenian lavash made from wheat turns brown after 30 seconds inside a tandoor oven.
