Spending huge amounts of our income on food became an annoyance to me. I'd rather go to Europe thank you very much!! We wanted four things, to eat well and enjoy our meals while keeping our weight and our expenses under control. Incentive was born and I started to do something about it. I hope to use this Blog to share what I've discovered.

The tradition of Challah and other kosher, yeast-leavened breads can be traced back to the Ancient Hebrew belief that breads leavened with sourdoughs were impure due to the fermentation.

Over the past two decades, the interest level in healthy, organic, traditional foods has increased dramatically in the US. Like meat, fruits and vegetables, commercially produced bread has come under scrutiny.

In response, traditional European bakeries have been launched in the US with considerable success.

These bakeries use traditional ingredients, techniques and equipment, such as whole meal grains, sourdough leavening, manual dough preparation and stone-hearth baking to produce a wide range of healthy breads.

In Ancient Egypt, bread was used as a form of currency.
