I feel if we properly reference many of the preparation content this article would be significantly closer to B-class. I am having trouble finding sources for many of the content in preparation. I do not have much expertise in bread making and am not sure whether certain information is accurate. Does anybody know of any sources we can use?

I think even after split, we should include the Guinness world record information here. From Bread in Europe:

• According to Guinness World Records, Turkey has the largest per capita consumption of bread in the world as of 2000, with 199.6 kg (440 lb) per person; Turkey is followed in bread consumption by Serbia and Montenegro with 135 kg (297 lb 9.9 oz), and Bulgaria with 133.1 kg (293 lb 6.9 oz).

We can rephrase and write something like this (I could not edit the main article, do I need to request a protected edit? It does not seem protected.)

In Europe subsection of Cultural significance section, before the 'variety' discussion:

• Bread is a stable food throughout Europe. According to Guinness World Records, in 2000, the three countries that had the largest per capita consumption of bread were from Balkans in Europe. Turkey had the largest per capita consumption, with 199.6 kg (440 lb) per person; followed by Serbia and Montenegro with 135 kg (297 lb 9.9 oz), and Bulgaria with 133.1 kg (293 lb 6.9 oz).{{cite web|url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-bread-consumption-per-capita?fb_comment_id=595351547259001_680718702055618#f804106c3580c|title=Largest bread consumption per capita|date=1 January 2000|accessdate=8 November 2015|website=Guinness World Records}} Newer sources claim Germany from Europe is the top per capita consumer followed by Chile in Americas. Also, an enormous variety of bread is available across Europe. In Germany alone, more than 300 kinds of bread are produced, along with more than a thousand types of bread rolls and pastries. {{cite web|url=http://grazione.ru/eng/novosti/~shownews/Bread-by-our-neighbors|title=Bread, which is loved, by our neighbors|date=6 July 2012|publisher=grazione.ru}}

A problem is that the 'newer' sources have reliability issues. Bulgu (talk)

Text about OE hlaf isn't about the etymology of bread but the etymology of loaf.

:{{not done}}: Bread could plausably be added to the category for just about every type of cuisine, and that doesn't seem appropriate. If you really think it should be added, please establish consensus here first. meamemg (talk) 20:25, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
