I did not even know that the Chinese use bread. In America, there are a tremendous amount of Chinese restaurants. Here the starch that they use in the restaurants is rice, and there are crispy Chinese noodles, that are either put in soup, or in a main dish.I have never seen bread served in a Chinese restaurant.

In the US, bread comes in several handy denominations, all are divisible by 1 , 5, or 10. Anything smaller , we call change.

However, its all dough.

I always find it interesting that what we colloqually refer to as "bread", was called "dough" years ago. I would be curious as to the history of this.
