Audio Book Before the Baguette: The history of French bread with Free MOBI EDITION Download Now!

A history of French bread from the first Neolithic flat breads up to the baguette, and an overview of developments since. French bread has been prized in other countries since medieval times and the baguette today is made all over Asia (even in North Korea!). Yet histories of this very influential bread are lacking; this new work attempts to fill in that gap.After a look at the earliest breads in France, turns to the Roman breads which became, in simpler form, the first medieval breads, then the appearance of trade groups and regulated breads, followed by increasing documentation of the craft, before luxury breads and long breads appeared in the seventeenth century, creating a new variety in the loaves offered, greatly expanded in 1839 when August Zang introduced the croissant and Austrian methods into French baking. Meanwhile crow-bar length loaves became common in Paris, carried by women bread porters - porteuses de pain. A long list of breads was already noted at the start of the twentieth century, when the baguette is first mentioned (though barely noted at first). In the decades since, several older loaves and terms persisted even as the baguette became more common. But after World War II, complaints increased about the quality of French bread and both the government and bakers began to address the issue, more or less successfully, so that "traditional" style breads became more common along with celebrated artisanal bakers, even as the French have eaten less bread and automatic dispensers have replaced many rural bakeries.Includes a comprehensive glossary of French breads.

Audio Book Before the Baguette: The history of French bread with Free MOBI EDITION!

This book tells the story of French wheat bread in 243 extremely fact-dense pages, with full details on regional breads over time, French folktales about bread, recipes, milling, everything. Most of French history happened before the baguette took its modern name and form, so here we have everything form the Roman empire on down. Hundreds of types of bread are covered--most being variants on the ordinary loaf, whole wheat or white. The croissant was not introduced till well into the 19th century, by a Viennese baker (and, no, the croissant is not a form taken from Islamic usage--that's one of the folktales). Even then, in the 19th century, it was just a bread roll, not the modern flaky pastry that to me isn't the real thing unless the butter runs down my arm. Breads are my favorite food--the best I've had were in Afghanistan and north China decades ago, when hard mountain wheats or local ancient varieties were used, giving the breads an amazing taste. The spread of modern high-yield wheat varieties has been fatal to the taste of bread, alas, though with a good sourdough culture you can still have superb bread. Norman Borlaug, who developed these wheats, was a good Midwestern kid who didn't think bread should have a taste, so didn't think to breed the old flavors into the new varieties, and few have done it since. Meanwhile, I make my own whole-grain, and for white bread we trade our herbs and jams with a neighbor who has a sourdough culture (I'm too lazy to manage one). Anyway, this book is a bread-lover's dream. If you are as bread-fixated as I am, you will hang on every word. I certainly did.
