The Early English Bread Project
The Early English Bread Project aims to explore all aspects of bread as the most important food among the early English (roughly 500-1100 AD). From the basics of bread (wheat, barley or rye) to its effect on health and prosperity, from the cycle of the year to the cycle of life, and from bread theology to bread riddles, the study will cover the effects of this fundamental of life on early English civilisation. Also how bread can allegedly save you from vampires. Also recipes.

Am I missing something or are there just the one post and the about page? This looks really interesting, but it appears to have just gotten started.

If you're interested in recreating historical breads, check out the flours from Lammas Fayre. It's a very specialized mill producing ancient, medieval, and early modern flours.
