My annual travelogue
Vietnam, a country with a long history, has also evolved its bread culture over time. From ancient times to the present, Vietnamese bread has become an indispensable part of Vietnamese food culture with its unique production techniques and flavors.
In ancient times, Vietnamese bread was mostly made with natural ingredients such as glutinous rice flour and coconut flour, which gave it a soft, sweet and delicious taste. At the time, these breads were not only a delicacy, but also considered sacrifices and gifts, conveying respect for the gods and respect for others.
Over time, Vietnamese bread has gradually incorporated more foreign elements. During the French colonial period, French bakers brought bread-making techniques to Vietnam, combining them with local traditional techniques to create many new varieties of bread. For example, baguettes and croissants are extremely popular in Vietnam and have become an important part of people's daily diet.
Modern Vietnamese bread is constantly innovating and developing. Bakers use modern technology and equipment to constantly improve and create new bread flavors and styles. For example, adding a variety of nuts, chocolate, jam and other toppings to traditional Vietnamese bread, or creating bread varieties with local characteristics, such as seafood bread and coconut bread.
In addition to the innovation of taste, Vietnamese bread has also made many experiments in style. Some breads are made into the shape of various animals, plants, or buildings, which are lifelike;Some are baked in a special way to give the bread a unique texture and color.
Overall, Vietnamese bread culture is a phenomenon of ancient and modern, tradition and innovation. Whether it's traditional bread with an ancient taste or a modern variety of innovative varieties, it shows the love of food and the passion for life of the Vietnamese people. While tasting Vietnamese bread, we can not only taste the taste of the food, but also feel the cultural heritage and historical accumulation of this country.
