Dan will talk about some of the bread traditions in many of the
world's religions through history and across geography. Bread plays
a role in many religions, from the Nile to the Mississippi, in many
cultures and traditions, in legends, and in histories. Dan will take
us on a historical journey starting with the Egyptians 6500 years
ago, and visiting the Romans, the Poles, Czechs, Germans,
Scandinavians, Northern Africans, the British Islanders, and the
Americans. Dan will talk about the parallels of the "wisdom loaf"
made by both the Celts and the Native Americans.

Dan "Klecko" McGleno is the production manager at the Saint Agnes
Baking Company in Saint Paul, a professional bread baker for 23
years, and a bread historian, educator, and mentor to both
professional and home bread bakers.
