Abstract:
From the early times of mankind bread has
been a basic food in many parts of the world.
When people started to turn their backs to labourious
farmlife and started instead life in settlements
that were to develop into cities, it was the
baker's trade that provided them with bread.
Nowadays the manufacture of various sorts of
bread - there are more than 200 sorts of bread
available on the market in Germany for instance
- is only one of the activities in a modern bakery,
and the manufacture of confectionery is just
as important.
