The Chemistry of Bread

Baking bread may be a familiar process, but it is by no means a simple one. A very great number of fundamental chemical actions are demonstrated in the baking of one loaf of bread. On today's program Dr. Fred H. Knelman of Montreal looks at bread-baking from the chemist's point of view, using illustrations ranging from stone ovens to production lines.
