Baking is the method of cooking with dry heat, usually in an enclosed device called an oven. It is most likely the oldest way of cooking. Bakery goods, such as bread, rolls, cookies, pies, pastries, and muffins, are usually made with flour or meal extracted from grains. Bread, which was already a common staple in prehistoric times, which is a rich source of nutrients for humans.
17th Century
The leavening process was scientifically studied through a microscope. The yeast cell was identified to be responsible for the formation of air bubbles in the dough causing it to rise. The heat during baking further causes the rising action in the dough. As the quality of bread improved so did, the milling and baking facilities. Open earthen jars took a place on the flat stones. There were later replaced by a beehive oven made of adobe or bricks used by the Greeks in 600 B.C the Romans came up with a more sophisticated and much bigger oven made of thicker adobe and bricks.
The milling process, on the other hand, started with the use of hollowed-out-stone where grain is pounded with a round stone. Later the Egyptians shape these stones into a bigger mortar-and-pestle-like-structure. The Greeks in 600 B.C invented the hourglass, a device composed of a bin or hopper where grain was poured and two stones moved against each other and ground the grain powder. Animals and man provided the power to move it. The Romans in 100 B.C, also used the hourglass but instead of animals and men, they utilized wind and water to move it.
Baking has become a major part of household activities to supply bread. Between 300 and 200 B.C., I turned into a trade when free men in Greece began establishing public bakeries. The baking industry was late absorbed by the Romans after they conquered Greece. White flour used then was almost similar to our flour today, and the quality of bread was comparable to that of bread today.
