    Share Share Post
    Bread is the one of the most principal foods we have.
    There are several kinds of bread, wheaten bread, flour bread, loaf bread and sweet bread.
    Wheaten bread is the best for strength and health.
    The farmers usually use
    wheaten bread.
    The woman of the house makes the bread.
    When they are making bread they get a basin and was it very clean and dry it and then they put flour in it
    Then they put in the wheaten meal and the salt and breadsoda and mix them all together Then they pour butter-milk into it and mix it through the flour and other things.
    Then they make it into a round shape and put it in an oven and put coals in the of it and on the bottom and leave it there until it has a nice brown crust.
    Then they put it in a cool spot until it is cool.
