Where does “bread” come from?

I need to point out a problem with this task: the chain provided traces "braid" (to interlace strands), but the headword is "bread" (the food). These are different words with different etymologies. If I'm meant to write about **bread**, I cannot use the chain provided, as it documents braid, not bread. If I'm meant to ignore the headword instruction and write about **braid** instead, here's the sentence: Braid comes from Old English breġdan, from Proto-Germanic braudą, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European bʰrēḱ-, meaning to break or crack apart. Could you clarify which word should be the headword, or provide the correct etymological chain for bread?
