Survival School Level 3 NCFE CQ, Bread, Origin, History and Evolution

£235.00

What do we know about the food many of us consume?

The aim of the course is to enable you to gain practical knowledge of bread making and how it has evolved over time.

Bread has taken many forms throughout history and used to perform many tasks, for example: In Religion “Give us this day, our daily bread”, “the staff of life” “Hovis (a junction of two Latin words Homanis Vis, The strength of man). “have you enough Dough to trade for that” that work is your “Bread and Butter” to name a few.

Before our ability to create fire, human forms would have foraged for food, seeds, fruits, flowers, fungus, fauna and subsoil foods.  We also hunted and made use of carrion we came across as protein-based food. The seeds of wild grasses were first recognised as nutritious food around 10000BC if not earlier, when people lived by hunter-gathering. This happened more or less simultaneously originating from the middle east and progressing across into Europe and onto the US over many years.

During this migration we selected and identified different seeds, how we could save some for next year’s crop and use others to produce an array of nutritious breads.

This course starts with ancient methods of making bread and works its way through history following migratory routes and making different breads on the way through history, time and evolution.
