bread at English => English (English Etymology) Of Explained:
O.E. bread "crumb, morsel," originally simply "piece of food" (cf. Slovenian kruh "bread," lit. "a piece"), from P.Gmc. *brautham (cf. O.N. brot, Dan. br?¡þd, Ger. Brot). Probably not related to brew, despite similarities, if the basic sense was truly "piece," but rather from a P.Gmc. *braudsmon- "fragments, bits" (cf. O.H.G. brosma "crumb"), related to the root of break. Replaced by 1200 the O.E. word for bread, which was hlaf, see loaf. The verb "to dress with bread crumbs" is from 1727. Slang meaning "money" dates from 1940s, but bread-winner is from 1818. Bread-basket "stomach" is slang from 1753. Bread-and-butter in the fig. sense of "basic needs" is from 1732. Bread and circuses (1914) is from L., in ref. to food and entertainment provided by governments to keep the populace happy. "Duas tantum res anxius optat, Panem et circenses" [Juvenal, Sat. x.80]. ///

bread at English => English (The Britannica Concise) Of Explained:
Baked food product made of flour or meal that is moistened, kneaded into a dough, and often fermented using yeast. A major food since prehistoric times, bread has been made in various forms using a variety of ingredients and methods throughout the world. Flat, unleavened bread, the earliest form, is still eaten in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The principal grains used in such breads are corn, barley, millet, buckwheat, wheat, and rye. Raised bread, common in Europe and the U.S., is usually made of wheat or rye. Both contain the elastic protein substance gluten, which traps gas produced during fermentation, helping the bread to rise. Other ingredients include milk or water, shortening (fats, butter, oils), salt, and sugar. Bread is a source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins (see vitamin B complex); whole-wheat bread contains more protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber than white-flour bread. See also baking.
