[Sca-cooks] On Beyond Pretzel

[Johnna Holloway]

I've been through my copy of Kunst Und Brot from the Bread Museum in Ulm but didn't find braided loaves in anything early.

One can search the medieval images at the Pierpont Morgan Library through CORSAIR.

Bread turns up in 80 entries. 238 under bread or loaves.

For instance, Ms G. 44 has "two pretzel-like bread pieces" in a Last Supper.

But as i search earlier and earlier it gets harder because there are no still lives or genre scenes, and i'm spending more time just scanning through masses of art and i haven't turned up anything yet. Is the braided loaf an out of period invention?
