Our Daily Bread - Reel 2 (1962)

Continued from Reel 1. Sunblest bread being made at bakeries.
Reel 2. Big dollops of dough are flopped out of large machines into bins, covered with cloth and left to ferment. Dough goes through machinery, being kneaded and cut then rolled into sausage shapes. Men put them in tins on a conveyor belt; they go into ovens and come out cooked the other side (obviously takes a bit longer than this!). Commentator compares this method to the old way that 'Grandmama' used to make bread, saying "We've made our bread better, and even more hygienic". Loaves on cooling conveyor belt.
Men in white coats and hats make loaf shapes: cottage, Vienna, French sticks, French rolls, bloomers, baps and fruit loaves, that head towards the ovens. White loaves are sliced and wrapped by machines. Wrapped traditional Scottish batch loaves on conveyor belt; several shots show processes involved in making them with crust at the top and bottom only.
In the despatch department workers load orders onto trolleys that are stacked into the back of trucks. Sunblest vans drive out of the depot and away from the bakery buildings. Van drives through town, stops outside bakery and man delivers pallet into shop. Lovely footage as woman customer buys a Sunblest loaf and squeezes it to test the freshness. Great shots of women choosing loaves in supermarket. Elderly woman in grocer's picks loaf off counter and pays man (this is really nice footage). Exterior of corner grocery. Several good shots of men going round housing estates with big baskets of bread, selling door to door to housewives. Excellent footage of women cooking with bread at home - bread pudding, omelette with fried bread, summer pudding, croutons on soup, Brown Betty Pudding, fried cheese sandwich (yeuch!), little hamburgers on small rolls, toast topping casserole. All really good for illustrating suburbia, middle-class lifestyle, housewives etc.
Back at the pub the landlady prepares bready 'appetisers'. Canadian, Rector and Miller order bread and cheese from barman to go with tomatoes and tuck into the titbits. Fade into shots of plates of bread, cheese and tomatoes. Miller spouts about how fascinating bread is (cataloguer begs to differ by now). Combine harvesters in wheat field.

[@aaronsinger]

Plastic bags were not available until 1965, and then every bread company used plastic. Plastic kept the bread fresher, but all that did was increase the shelf life of the product and ease delivery deadlines meaning that there was older product on the shelves. Not sure about the cholera reference, but plenty of people got sick back then and the health care was nightmarish by today's standards.

I hope you get to enjoy bread again. If I may recommend you try back to eating ancient wheat varieties as the had naturally lower gluten (Varieties like Einkorn, Kamut, Khorasan, Emmer) as you likely will be pleasantly surprised that the symptoms would be far less, if any. I had the exact same experience. Couldn’t believe it Modern wheat have been bred to have high amounts of gluten. Secondly, very ancient bread was fermented (similar to sourdough) for 24 hours or longer. It took days to make bread. Modern bread is much quicker using modern methods such as fast yeast. Try sourdough or other long fermentation breads that don’t have fast yeast and you may likewise come to find you’re able to tolerate that much better. I had personal experience with this as I had severe allergies to wheat. I have now tried to use this as a principle with my other food allergies. I also recommend the book “Nourishing Traditions” that teaches how to eat like ancient times. I managed to get rid of food allergies and intolerances eating as ‘anciently’ as possible. Truly wonderful.

You're right; by the end of the 1970s we had gone the same way as America...almost. Master baker's shops did survive in a few places, and in recent years there's been some new artisan bakery business start-ups. Fortunately, there's also been a backlash against the sliced, tasteless, fake-yeast, chewy rubbish from the mega-factories and all the main British supermarket chains have fresh bakery counters. At least we Brits can be thankful that even our rubbish bread doesn't contain certain additives allowed in America!

Удивительно! Я из СССР - это моя Родина. 1962 года рождения. И многие, многие мои ровесники с такой же ностальгией вспоминают те благословенные душевные времена, наше сладкое, беззаботное детство. Хлеб был настолько вкусный, ароматный любой : и черный, и белый, и ржаной, и пшеничный, что донести его целым и невредимым не представлялось ну никакой возможности. У белого сьедали горбушки, а черный обгрызали корочку по всему периметру буханки. Запах такой, что сознание можно потерять. Все продукты были натуральные, по выверенным, грамотными профессионалами своего дела, рецептам и технологиям. Все было для здоровья людей и с уважением к людям! И подобного рода произаодство были на дотации государства, потому и цены были, на высококачественную продукцию, низкие. Доступные для всех абсолютно.

I don't know why this showed up on my list but it did and it was ... delightful! How peaceful and predictable life was back in 1962. As the billboard said, "Beer! It's lovely!" The cottage loaves at 4:20 look divine. You'd never find anything like these varieties where I live. It's all fast-produced full-of-preservatives loaves that, even right after baking, have no yeast odor or flavor at all. And they sit on the store shelves for a week or more. Oh, well. It is what it is, I guess. Cheers!

Believe me or not, I can smell the freshness of the bread hiding behind this screen. It's silly people are making every attempt to take over the work of nature these days in the name of efficiency.

When I was at Uni, I worked part time at the McVitie's factory in Harlesden. I remember one night a worker leaned over the mixing machine too far and his mobile phone and a bag or marijuana fell into the mixer from his top pocket. The mobile was smashed into bits and the whole batch was thrown. His marijuana was taken into the office so he could be dealt with in the morning by managers. He somehow managed to get into the office and got the marijuana back so they had no evidence other than the smashed up mobile phone.

Bread was much better back then. Not loaded with preservatives like now, so they can keep it on the sueprmarket shelves for days with an extended use by date and not go mouldy.
