Cereals, water, yeast and salt are the only ingredients
needed to make bread. With them and a lot of care, we can make one of the foods
with more history. Although it is difficult to determine exactly when bread first
appeared, different references indicate that it was in the Neolithic and by
chance. At that time, men smashed cereals and mixed them with water to prepare
a kind of mash. One day, someone forgot the mash and after returning, found a dry,
grainy pie, and this way they discovered bread.
Since then, bread has been present
in different cultures and civilizations, and there are more than three hundred
varieties. Throughout history, it has been a basic food, especially in times of
war and shortages. However, at the end of the 20th century and the
beginning of the 21st century, industrial bakery was expanded
throughout Spain, along with frozen doughs and pre-cooked breads, thus leaving traditional
recipes and hand-made bread in oblivion. Luckily, things have changed again,
and nowadays, experts and consumers prefer traditional, high-quality, nutritious,
tasty and aromatic bread.
As we have indicated, to make good
bread, we only need four ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast. The taste,
aroma, texture and even digestibility of the bread depend on the right choice
of these ingredients. Thus, whole wheat flour is preferable to refined flour,
and, when it comes to choosing the leaven, the best is sourdough.
Soria Natural presents its new
range of whole bread made only with the ingredients of traditional bread, worked
with care and slow-cooked to achieve an original taste and texture.
