Modern Use
Since the introduction of the process, many UK domestic wheat varieties have been improved. Flour suitable for traditional high quality pan bread (11.5% - 13.5% protein) can now be sourced in the United Kingdom, although such flour attracts a significant milling premium. Prior to the CBP, UK bread was hugely reliant on imported wheat, particularly from North America. Transportation contributed to the higher price of the wheat. The CBP's use of home-grown wheat, to produce bread acceptable to the bulk of UK customers, means that the process is still used for 80% of UK bread production.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
