Since prehistoric times humans have been trying to make a food like bread, grinding cereal grains between two stones and mixing them with water until getting something similar to a dough. During the Egyptian times, maids cooked the bread in stone oven that were replaced by hot clay pots to promote a slow and uniform cooking. In those times leavened bread was discovered: probably a maid dropped some beer into the dough that became more soft and tasty. Greeks changed the dough of the bread adding milk aromatized with grass, honey or wine.

Romans introduced the production of bread in Italy and they invented the name “farina” by spelt, which in Italian is called “farro”. They also changed the basic recipe of bread adding apples or olives. Bread became important also in policy: roman imperators ensured the bread to avoid popular uprising.

In the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, aristocrats ate white bread made with flour of wheat, while poor people ate oat bread or bran bread. In medieval courts bread was used like a plate and then it was donated to the poor. Soldiers ate bread during wars because it was an energy source.

Between the end of the 1700s and the beginning of the 1800s technological innovation appeared, such as bread maker machine or modern oven. At the beginning of the 1900s, bread was “black” and hard to chew because it was produced with wholegrain flours, rich in fibers. Later, technology permitted to refine the ingredients and white bread developed. Today, with the rediscovery of healthy food, it's used again wholegrain bread, rich in fibers.
