From the Arcata Co-op Bakery
THis bread will not only nourish you, it will surprise you with its
unique and delightful flavor and texture. Definetly worth the extra
effort of finding the 9-grain mix ingredients. The mix will keep well
in the refrigerator - we're sure you'll want to make this bread again
(try a handful in pancakes!).
Mix the water, molasses, malt and yeast. Add the 9 grain mix, flour,
salt and oil (you can also make a sponge and wait, but it's not
necessary). Mix, and knead dough well. Let rise, shape into loaves
and let rise again in oiled bread pans. Bake at 350 F for 45 min.

The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times made use of many spices, including a few you will know like bay, mint and parsley. Moving on, there are a couple of cookery books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
