Kriegsbrot ist Brot, welches speziell an die limitierten Ressourcen während eines Krieges angepasst ist. Dabei werden sowohl die verwendeten Zutaten variiert (z.B. Corn syrup statt Zucker) als auch deren Quantität und Qualität.

Erster Weltkrieg

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Während des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde bei beiden Kriegsparteien und ihren Verbündeten Kriegsbrot als geeignete Maßnahme angesehen, den kriegsbedingten Engpass an vor allem Zucker und Mehl zu mildern.

During World War I, food conservation was top priority for every homemaker in the United States. Sugar and wheat supplies were desperately needed by our allies in Europe and homemakers were encouraged to use less wheat and little to no sugar to make their breads. Corn syrup was used in place of sugar and shortening was used in place of fat during this time.

War bread is a very basic white bread recipe that was made during WWI. Homemakers during this time were encouraged to conserve food for the war and our allies. They were taught to use less fats and sugars to make their loaves of bread and were encouraged to try out different grains so that the United States could send more wheat to allies in Europe.
