Bread is the most widely consumed food in the world, transcending culture, class, race, and ethnicity. Bread is the basic element of any meal. The ancient Egyptians, often cited as the “creators of bread,” used it as currency, and even placed loaves in tombs to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. In the same way, the bread of the 21st century continues to be a thing of ceremony: it is the first food item to be placed on dining tables, it is integral to the concept of a sandwich, and it symbolizes forgiveness, sacrifice, and love in religious celebrations. It’s no wonder that bread is a universal sign of peace and community.
