Cornell bread was invented in the United States during the 1930s byClive McCay, a professor atCornell University,[1][2][3] as an inexpensive alternative to strictly rationed foods.[4] Addingpowdered milk andsoy flour to bread increases itsprotein content,[2] and restoring thegerm to refinedwhite flour results in higher levels ofvitamins and minerals.
The recipe for the bread was published in a book co-authored by McCay and his wife, entitledThe Cornell Bread Book: 54 Recipes for Nutritious Loaves, Rolls & Coffee Cakes.
