Answer 3

Grown by many U.S farmers, bread has been an American staple for many year Because many people needed to save every last piece of bread they had, people began to experiment with the bits and pieces of leftover bread. Hanson Gregory was a seacaptain from Maine who worked on a lime trading ship. He would often bake and fry cakes from remaining bread bits he sweetened. Tasty, but soggy in the middle, the fried cakes needed some changes. Captain Gregory experimented with cutting out the center of the cakes. This was a practical move which allowed increased surface area for more uniform frying. The result was the elimination of the dessert’s soggy center. Captain Hanson Gregory had stumbled upon a superb solution and redefined the shape of the pastry. The circular ring shape with a center hole is known as the American doughnut shape.
