Baker

A baker is somebody who makes bread. Some bakers also make cakes and desserts, but a traditional baker only makes bread. The place where a baker works is called a bakehouse or a bakery.

The ancient Egyptians made the first-ever bread in 8000 BC. In the Middle Ages, most landlords had a bakery. They had a public oven, and housewives brought the dough to the baker to cook.

Bread is now much sweeter than it was in the Middle Ages because a lot of corn syrup or honey is used.
