For example, when it was milled from the most useful part of wheat, it was noticed that the flour was kept intact for longer and the bread made from white flour entered our lives. For many years, it was enough for the consumer that this low-nutritious bread was cheaper. However, people who have started to experience nutrition-based health problems such as obesity have become increasingly careful about every bite.

Today, such as whole-wheat bread, rye bread, have become more popular than white bread. There is also an upper class bread, which is defined as artisan bread. Although not fully defined, we can define it as the bread produced by traditional methods, without additives yet with special yeast sourdough bread.
