what did bread look like?
I'm pretty new to the bread culture (so to speak). I understand the bakers yeast is a relatively new (in the last 100 years) development. Prior to that, loaves were built using natural starters.
What did bread look like in 1900? Were loaf pans used? I read somewhere that bread was sold by the pound, and it got me wondering about the whole bread process 100 years ago.
Thanks for your time,
JimĀ
