Thanks for bringing to attention that white bread was the first "victim" of the "hate conservative Whites" movement. It's kind of like "Freakonomics" and the unlikely relationships. White bread is to the "Leave it to Beaver" family as Wheat bread and granola is to the Liberal views of thought.

In medieval cities, families kneaded and shaped their own loaves of dough, which would then be collected and baked by neighbourhood baker. This is where the various lines, twists, dimples and crosshatching in the top of many loaves comes from: each family had their own pattern, so the baked bread could go back to the correct address.

Fun fact: the price of grain is the single best predictor political instability in a country or region. Food shortage is often the factor that pushes a population over the edge, from living unhappily under a regime to straight up revolt.

[@eoghannp8619]

Exhibit No. 1: Russian Revolution of Feb. / Mar. 1917. War-weary urban population of the capital (St. Petersburg) pushed over the edge by winter transportation failures leading in turn to rising food prices and shortages of the same. In recent years, the legend that the Revolution began in the early hours one morning in a queue outside a bread shop has been questioned, but there is no doubt that food shortages in the capital played a role.

[@FaerieDust]

And enriched white bread is popular because it's cheap, and cost was very important to survivors of the great depression. White flour is cheaper because as you said it doesn't spoil.

A couple points of fact: People would take their own flower to a miller to have it ground, and then take it home; but they wouldn't bake bread at home. There were usually communal ovens or village bakers they would take their bread to who would do the baking. As far as mass-production of bread goes, we can actually credit that to the Egyptians and Sumerians, who produced bread on a massive scale as payt for government employees.

People didn’t usually mill their own flour in pre-modern Europe. Miller’s were a trade of their own (hence the surname Miller/Müller). They were also usually looked down upon because they were seen as stealing grain (when you mill a grain, the stuff you can actually eat is less than the total amount of stuff that makes up the whole grain-and that only gets even less when refining the flour).

Took over the world is a bit of hyperbole. I came from Poland and never saw the North American type of white bread until I arrived in Canada. It was odd to say the least.

[@mishakac1283]

You must emigrated long time ago because in Poland it's called toast breed/ chleb tostowy.

You should do Estonias cookiecake. Its basecly a cake made from cookies and curd and jam

This legitimately made me make a Sandwich, nothing fancy as I need to go shopping, Kingsmill white bread, sliced polish Salami, low fat mature cheddar and a liberal spread of Winary Mayo, wanted to add some greens but completely out.

@@billbowser13 yeah most of the country is actually struggling and has been for a long time. We just don't get talked about because the people who make our media live in a totally separate world from the rest of us, and they're the only ones who the outside gets to see

@@billbowser13 The economy isn't great right now but most people here don't know what food scarcity really means. Food is more expensive (along with everything else) but nobody's dying of starvation or malnutrition; it just doesn't happen. Having to go to soup kitchens for food might not be ideal but it's not anywhere near being a threat to life.

According to your picture of the wheat grain, the bran plus the germ would be 14% plus 3%, which equals 17%, which does not equal "one-third of the whole grain", as your video states. It would be approximately half of one-third, actually, or one-sixth.

Sliced packged white bread never picked up in brazil, we mostly eat a bread called "pão francês" (it's kinda like a short and chubby vesion of a baguette), it is a type of white bread, but it's meant to constantly be bought from bakeries since it just becomes an unedible rock after a few days, most households (at least on cities) buy it multiple times a week, and it's better than those packaged sliced white loaves in almost every way, it's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and it doesn't feel like a pice of white sponge, but it's still neutral enough to work alongside anything. Sure, it might also not be really healthy, and it might not be stable for long periods of time (any homemade bread will also not be), it is a neutral bread that is good and I really like that. this the only thing i have national pride about (despite some other south american countries also eating it)

[@avalen767]

Funny thing is, in Finland one of the best cheap white sandwich breads you can get is from an 'American style' German brand that you get from Lidl.

I grew up on Sunbeam and wonder bread. Every meal you had a slice or two of buttered bread with your meal. Even if that meal was bread. You would still have a slice of buttered bread with that meal.

I'm American, I grew up eating whole wheat and oat bran breads, that's all my my mom bought. That's all I've bought. Now I make my own breads.

[@Hyreia]

This. I had the same upbringing. When I'm not making my own bread I buy the 100% whole wheat stuff. I love the texture. Depending on brand you can 100% whole wheat for anywhere from $1.20 to $8 in the Midwest.

I missed you, Andong! I should stop by your channel more often! Coincidentally, I found a great recipe for a whole wheat sourdough bread on King Arthur Flour website, and now it's my favorite sandwich bread (until I get tired of it). Can't wait to see your bread recipe.
