Also, did you know that they would use oil and honey in their products?
Yeah, that's true! Around the time of being a baker started Roman bakers started putting honey and oil in bread creating pastries and I'm thankful they did haha
I love going to the bakery and seeing the baker cook stuff. Do you know any cool stuff about bakers? Grains have been a staple food for a millennia, baking is a very old activity. Thats neat, I bet that baking has a very long heritage, Did people in the stone age know how to bake food? I'm not aware of the info of baking during the stone age, but during the 5th and 6th century BCE, the ancient Greek communities had a communal oven to bake bread in and enclosed ovens. wow the greeks had ovens? thats really cool. What kind of ovens did they use? Was it coal or fire? Their enclosed ovens were heated through wood fires. Oh alright, That makes sense, since wood is easily available and I dont think greeks knew what coals were back then. What else do you know about bakers? In ancient Rome a few centuries later the first mass production of bread started. They say being a professional baker started then. I had a feeling bakers started in Europe. Since there is a lot of cuisines from Europe that are baked.
Ancient Roman bakers used honey and oil in their products, creating pastries rather than breads.
