Experts Alex Langlands and Annie Gray join them to tell the incredible story of our daily bread. {{http://forums.mvgroup.org/release.images/Harry65/A.Bakers%202.jpg?200&nolink }} **Part 1 1830s** The journey begins in 1837, when bread was the mainstay of most diets and bakers were at the heart of every community. A rural bake house has been kitted out exactly as it would have been in the 1830s. The bakers must get to grips with centuries-old methods of breadmaking and that means doing absolutely everything by hand. The first loaves are made with heritage wheat flour and brewers' yeast in a tiny wood-fired oven. It is bog standard bread that fed Victorian rural workers but to modern palettes it is an absolute revelation. Fifth-generation baker John Swift gets a taste of the bread his ancestors once made and artisan baker Duncan is in his element in this unhurried, organic world. There is no shop, so the bakers deliver door-to-door. For industrial baker John Foster, who deals with customers as far afield as China, the fixed demand and lack of competition enjoyed by Victorian bakers, is an utter joy. ==See Also== {{http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06vn7sj|BBC Site}} ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, {{ youtube> }} ==Full Version== \\ \\ ,,The availability of this link might be uncertain!,,\\ ,,Full version is available upon request.,, {{ youtube>g0qbOq2wA6w }} \\ \\ \\ {{tag>HD History Health Food Britain SER BBC_-_Victorian_Bakers_Series_1_(2016) FF 2016 Ar01/16 Name}}
