THE HUISSIER

(July 5, 2002)


Bread

In the 18th century, bread in the was leavened using yeast, as it is today. According to La Nouvelle Maison Rustique:

"The yeast leavening was made from various substances such as hops, grapes, and beer, with water and sugar added, which was allowed to ferment, causing the natural yeast to act. When this occurred, flour was added to complete the preparation of the leavening".
