That Afghan bread is so good. I had some coworkers recently start working with me from Afghanistan and they easily bribed me with their bread, it is SO GOOD. They filled theirs with potato and spices and dip it in curry, and I could genuinely eat it every day. I would straight up look forward to work if that's what I'm eating for lunch. They gave me a 12 inch square and watched in awe and happiness as I ate the entire thing immediately.
I had something a little bit different. It was flat but it wasn't filled with anything. Still delicious though!
fermentation was discovered because spoiled food was so common. back then they didnt just throw food away. preservation was so important and difficult.
Salt and vinegar. Best natural preservatives.
Beer is basically liquid bread.
Yup. Humans are used to their pov. The idea romans didn't get plastic for their bread and to the romans "indestructible glass that could make films" were polar concepts.
As i recall, they burned alive the first person to make "indestructable glass" / Resin polymer. Fearing it'd devalue the valuable glass industry that built their city if a object that never broke was around.
You can see it too, use natural yeast and you can end up with a natural sourdough, sakeraut is made from natural cabbage. Most stuff will either go blue with mold or turn yeasty. Wine was discovered before boiling grape juice to make pasteruized grape juice after refrigeration for kids.
I’ve been making bread for over 10 years for my family and friends. Everyone tells me I should open a bakery because I’m so good at it. I genuinely love it.
There is something magical about it.
Country Life Vlog, Tasting History, and Townsends!!! Nice to see them all on here!
Civilisation was created by beer.
Sometimes, I wish these videos were just a bit longer. I can't get enough.
Ok Depeche Mode
Agreed--15:00 to 20:00 would hit the sweet spot
Yeah, but to complain might make people think you're crummy, or a gluten for punishment.
And even though I always rise to the occasion, I think I'm gonna dough now.
(Dammit... that last one sucked and I was really on a roll...)
@@williamf5745 He's Crumby, dammit! :)
Bread is great, buttered toast is my fav :)
Just read that in Ed’s voice from ed edd and eddy, “Buttered toast eddy!”
@@Nagatem you must be as old as me, genuinely best wishes to you and yours :)
Buttered toast is good and I this in Ed's voice from Ed, Edd, and Eddy also.
Bread is the goat. We wouldnt be where we are as humanity without bread.
Too true🍞🥐🥖😋
And liquid bread... beer
And beer
This was an enjoyable video.
A loaf of homemade bread really is something special
Fun fact: Navajo fry bread is what people in Utah call "scones". The first time I ever asked for a scone outside of Utah, I was so confused by what I got
Fresh homemade bread is just the best.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy , like sourdough.
Just plain old simple bread is fine.
(But figuring out how to make and use sourdough is fun)
Sourdough is actually pretty easy. For the most flavor, all you need is time, for the yeast in the air to permeate the starter.
Sorry, for this SF native there has to be some sourdough, even on Vancouver Island.
Whenever I make bread, it lasts about an hour.
Just remember that sliced bread is the best thing since Betty White! ❤
In el salvador, where i am from, tortillas is a staple of our cuisine, pupusas are a different thing because they are entire meals unto itself since you add stuff to it to make it more delicious. Tortillas are served as sides for other foods that we eat
Is that why money is called dough?
Good pun there 😂🎉
It’s because money was used to referred to as your bread. Gotta earn your bread. Bread was such a common staple of middle age diets that everyone was always carrying some coin and some bread/biscuit/cracker etc
Real Good pun here 10/10.
My dad often referred to people who "made a lot of bread" (i.e. were well paid).
@@virgogyl Yes, it's true.
Oddly enough, I was contemplating making my own loaves of bread long before lockdown. It had to deal with being forced onto a low sodium diet. you won't belive how many pre sliced loaves use High fuctose corn syrup and tons of extra salt in the recipe.
Agreeing with @tip, bread is _surprisingly_ high in sodium ! (which I have to watch)
One correction on the trencher. It actually wasn’t meant for you to eat after the meal, at least, not at larger meals where they were typically used.
If a banquet or a festival was held, everyone attending ate off of a trencher. The food would soak into the trenchers and it would be collected later and dispersed among a community’s poor for a meal, as they would have soaked up a sufficient amount from the meal itself to feed a kingdom’s poor.
It was actually considered rather rude to eat your own trencher at a banquet, because it wasn’t meant for you, as you were at the meal to begin with. The poor weren’t.
Ut, oh. This video isn't on my diet.
Carbs are literally deadly over a whole life time
Ah yes before the common era. The era that's common. Set off by a common event
If only the world could see how oppressed Western Christians are. Not to even mention the fact that you can't throw a rock without hitting a critical theorist trying to ruin our way of life.
The flour and oil disappeared very early in Covid. People panic bought and then had to use it before it spoiled. Most of it was probably wasted. Goodwill was flooded with bread makers after the panic ended. lol
I should head to my local goodwill for a bread machine then lol.
Yeah whenever there’s a Hurricane people always stock up on bread and milk. It’s a weird habit
I just resurrected my 25+ year old bread machine from my back closet.
About $1.20 in ingredients to make a 1.5 lb loaf.
10 minutes prep, and 3 hours later, Fresh Bread. (Of course, you're supposed to wait an hour for it to cool... or a half-hour...)
So much better than gummy white bread! 😁
@@brj_hanAmen!
@@LumaToSame, lol😁
5:50 As a kid, I remember my mom, at the bakery, being asked "sliced or whole?" ... and I always liked it when she said "sliced," because I liked that machine with the vibrating up-and-down blades cutting the loaf into slices.
A good friend used to complain how his mom could _NOT_ cut straight bread slices, but dad could. I suppose _THAT'S_ why it's the "greatest thing since slice bread."
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Lots of places to find bread!
Hmmmmm...this video looks familiar...
(looks towards a video by Food Theory on the same topic)
Well, this is something. The cradle of civilization. The staple of life. A gift of mankind.
Don't forget that Beer is also part of the reason that we humans survived...lol. Liquid bread and much safer to drink than water back in the day...
Bread was one of my favorite groups when I was a kid.... 😁
Marmalade were good too!
Found the most boring person of the group!
I love bread. My mom would often bake fresh bread in our bread maker, and it's such fond childhood memory of mine. I can still smell it.
Always remember: bread was the solid version of the food that human tribes made with grain. The liquid version was beer. 😁
So, which came first...🍞🍻/🍻🍞🤔
I wonder if any ploughman ever ate a Ploughman's Lunch... (that's bread and beer, if you're not UK, usually with cheese).
@@binkwillans5138 Sure sounds like a ploughman type lunch!
5:11 Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers were probably like: Where did that acorn go?
A little disappointed this wasn't at least 3 hours long
Due to flour shortages during lockdown I had to use whole meal bread flour to make banana bread for the first time…never looked back.
OMG, YEAH!!!!!!
YES! I must try it. I want to try the dough in a waffle iron!
I'm curious about the history of rice cultivation. Where it started, how long ago, and various ways it's been used.
That's what I thought.
Good video..I live in Germany and we have over 3000 types of bread - it's not easy to say which is my favorite bread...
Quite surprised it wasn't a huge part of the video, or even covered at all.
Loved the nod at Adam Ragusea!
❤ that guy.
AND the "Tasting History" reference was good too !
Ahh, bread; my favorite food. Easy to make and insanely filling.
How about a video on how utensils plates and cups evolved in different places around the world.
Alot of pewter. Alot of people unalived.
Please do a video on popular foods later found to be dangerous to eat.
Umm, bread…?
@@johngalt97 they asked what we wanted to see. Breads not dangerous, it might be mildly bad for you but that's not the same.
Or, similarly, foods that can make you very sick if not prepared properly. (Examples: fugu, ackee)
Thank you for recognizing that fry bread is a product of the reserve systems of Native Americans and not some sort of happy, authentic part of their history
Thanks for your worthless thanks.
Oh, shut up. People are such whiners today.
@@Jordan-sy7my Thanks for your useless sarcastic thanks
@@Jordan-sy7myare you okay?
Do like fried bread regardless of it's unfortunate origin - and kudos to Native Americans for their resilience in making lemonade when handed lemons if you will.
Watching this as I'm on a keto diet.
My mom used to make up beer bread mixes she'd buy at specialty stores. It was a beloved childhood memory even though the bread tasted a bit funny to me.
I bake bread at least twice a month. Give the rising prices everywhere, it's just a better option.
Excellent insight. Thanks 😊
Sourdough is my face. Tnx foe the history lesson!
good video
One of my favorite and easiest breads to make at home is pita. I don't think it's even possible to mess it up - unless you burn it. And it is insanely tasty! I've baked quite a few different kinds of bread, but pita is number one.
Great video!
Do "How civilization was created by rice cultivation next.".
Interesting fact - The domestication of wheat predates the domestication of rice by about 2,500 years.
I really like that you credit the video clips you use. I also subscribe to many of those channels.
10:48 Speaking of Hulu...I watched the first four episodes of the Hulu series Only Murders In The Building!
It is a dream to see Steve Martin and Martin Short on a show together...and so many more big veteran stars (i.e. Tina Fey) are also on the show!
The performances on the show are incredible!
We often bake bread in our house. I'm partial to a dark rye with caraway seeds.
Been eating exclusively sourdough bread for several years now. Love it!! I made my own once or twice, but my local grocery store makes the best Italian bread style that is so fluffy and delicious! I can't get enough!!! Eating a slice as I type...lol...
Italian?! Fluffy?! Sounds like ciabatta
@@kirdot2011 nope. It's sourdough...
From what I've read, Sourdough is one of the BETTER breads to eat! (and so I do, and I LOVE it)
@@josephgaviotaActually, sourdough is not a specific bread type as it could be anything.
@@TarikDaniel I'm not the smartest person in the world, I certainly know that ... and maybe my experience is limited, having only brought bread at the store in the US ... but every time I've ever bought sour dough bread, it was always the white sourdough bread ... even when my mom made sourdough at home when I was a kid, it was the same kind of bread ... and she had the starter in a ceramic jug covered with a damp dish cloth in the back of the refrigerator.
What "other" types of sourdough are you referring to?
"It was their worst idea since unlocked bread" lol brilliant
Already long ago while watching your Timeline series I noticed you really like food ^^
We're making bread again because manufactured bread sucks! At least in the US. After much trying and failing, then quitting because practicing bread making is kinda hard, then you have to eat or waste it😒, I gave up. But recently, even though I tried to get good bread, I found that either the bread wasn't full (ginormous holes), or I wasn't. I used to be able to eat toast and be full, but recently not the case. I finally found a recipe I can do, and the bread is so delish😋 Now, full on one slice. No reason to eat empty calories!
Welp. Guess I'm making homemade bread today.
10:41 According to Ryan Reynolds, his wife Blake Lively bakes up a storm.
He calls their bakery "The Blakery."
Me: Using flour to make bread is boring
Me: Makes pizza instead
Bread is just a failed attempt at making beer.😂
I think everyone should at least attempt at making their own bread at some point. It really helps you realize how important it is and it becomes one of those foods that if you hit hard times you can at least survive off of.
I tried making bread during the UK bread strike of 1977. Pretty tough on the first try.
I'm convinced that Stephen Colbert is narrating this channel in secret.
If not, he should be.
Y'all should make a video on Minute Man burgers! Historic in the world fast service and burgers.
Got tired of grocery store bread, and I just resurrected my 25+ year old Breadman machine a month ago, and darned if it didn't still work!
Been enjoying freshly baked bread (now that I have the recipe standardized.) I remove the paddle just after the final punch-down, so the hole in the bottom of the loaf is pretty small and manageable....
How many times I had to dig that thing out before I figured that out...
A priest is walking down the street when he sees on of the children from his church carrying a loaf of bread in one hand and his other hand in his pocket. The priest says "I see you have the staff of life in your hand, but what do you have in the other?" "A Loaf of Bread".
Didn't Food Theory already do this?
I had to scroll too far down to see this
That was easily one of MatPat's best videos
4:32 What a great idea!
Now I shall go and make some nice fluffy bread!😋🥖
Here here 🎉
Enjoyed this episode.
Sourdough my favorite
The history of bread is a truly yeasty tale, full of rises and falls, and always guaranteed to get a rise out of those who delve into its rich and satisfying texture.
pliny the elder is my go to beer from russian river brewery
Steven Colbert narrating this makes it the best thing since sliced...
I'm not sure exactly what to classify it as , but as far as I'm concerned , Wonderbread is not bread .
It makes sense since the brain can only use carbohydrates to continue functioning.
Very interesting.
2:37 In Iraq we also call it Tannur and we used it to make our flat bread and the standing oven we used to make a kind of bread we call it Samon
10:30 Would love to go a concert for the Eras Tour!
The videos I have seen of it are incredible, just legendary!
The first time I heard the saying, "that's the greatest thing since sliced bread" was from the movie adaptation of "Annie" (a musical based on the newspaper comic strip).
My favorite is an Iranian flatbread called “sangak.” It’s cooked over river stones and topped with sesame and black cumin seeds.
please do a video about breads all over the world!

My favorite bread is the Brazilian pao de quejo. I can eat it all day every day😊
VERY GOOD
🍞 glorious 🍞, another great video W.H.F.
I have to say bread is my favorite food
... and potato ... and pasta ...
I guess I love my starches 😕
@@josephgaviota I can go without those just fine, but bread??....heck NO!
Somehow I expected something about Peter Kropotkin.
My eyes played a trick on me… I thought the title was “How Civilization was created by Brad” 🤔🤔… I was wondering who is this Brad?
Maybe he was Brian's brother?
@@johngalt97 "The Life of Brad" (Dammit, Janet!)
I think the Brad is Google's AI go to, isn't it?
@@CHEFPHIL48That's bard. Brad in this case is definitely brad leone, who loves a food sourdough.
I think the one thing that all people can agree on is that we eat some form of bread, the world over from flatbreads to whole grain and every other type of bread in between
Some of us don't eat any kind of plants at all. Plants are trying to kill us.
damn, those medieval peasants ate better than me lol
I love hot French Bread !
Those French Baguettes are just a way of getting butter into my system 🙂
watching while eating pandesal😍🤩
i had no idea sid meier was bread all this time!
I think it is beer that is responsible for civilization. After all it is known as liquid bread..
6:15 To this day, when I turn out the lights and go up to bed for the evening, I still say "Good Night, and may God Bless," which was how Red signed off at the end of every show.
9:10 pupusas getting recognition 😢
So Bombbb
When I was growing up in Richmond Virginia in the 1960’s, a friend of mine's father was an engineer who worked for a company called AMF, (American Machine and Foundry). His name was Andrew Buccini.
Mr. Buccini told me "I am an engineer. I design the machines that make Wonder Bread, so I KNOW what goes into making it. If YOU knew what goes into making Wonder Bread, you would NEVER feed that shit to your family!
I make beer waffles.
I tried using Anchor Steam once; only once. It would have been a great science project in grade school for a volcano.
I’m hungry for bread now
6:50 I STRONGLY remember Wonder's "Helps build strong bodies, twelve ways" slogan.
I wonder if that's why my mom eventually switched to Wonder? She's since passed, so I can't ask her, sadly.
I went over to sourdough bread about a year ago and it's much better as it doesn't bloat me out as much as the same amount of 'normal' bread. 😊
I think the birth of bread and beer went hand and hand.
matpat allready made a vid about this
And little vermin would eat the grain and cats would eat the vermin. Bread and cats go together..
