From there to the white bread made with a dozen chemical stabilizers, acid regulators and raising agents as they are sold in the supermarket is just the result of refining the process

Or there’s just, you know normal bread, flour, water, yeast and salt. You don’t need all that extra crap.

Of course nobody needs it. But >99% only know it that way.

  99%? I highly doubt that. Being from a European country, a bakery around the corner with fresh bread is the most normal thing. Supermarket bread is highly frowned upon here. As it is in most of the world except the USA I presume

    If you believe that your local bakery can survive without those chemicals, think again. There are a handful of specialized bakeries that actually work on “clean” recipies, but they are rare and much more expensive.
    
    Yes, even in Germany, the country of bread, rising agents and acidity regulators are common. Whenever you see a “bakery” put prepared rolls into the oven, you can be sure that chemistry is the bakers best friend.

  You think the rest of the planet is like the US. It actually isn’t.

  Nah, a lot of us around the world just use The Four Ingredients, and prefer bread that is simpler yet tastier. Your numbers might be very regional.
