This method of making bread is illegal in Europe and a number of other 
countries.  Here most bread is made using what is called the Chorleywood 
method, named after the research place where it was developed.  This 
allows loaves to be produced in 3 1/2 hours from start to sliced and in 
the pack.  The crucial step is hard mixing of the ingredients, which 
include ascorbic acid.
