Among all civilized people bread has become an article of food of the
first necessity; and properly so, for it constitutes of itself a
complete life sustainer, the gluten, starch and sugar which it
contains representing ozotized and hydro-carbonated nutrients, and
combining the sustaining powers of the animal and vegetable kingdoms
in one product. As there is no one article of food that enters so
largely into our daily fare as bread, so no degree of skill in
preparing other articles can compensate for lack of knowledge in the
art of making good, palatable and nutritious bread. A little earnest
attention to the subject will enable any one to comprehend the theory,
and then ordinary care in practice will make one familiar with the
process.
