The Evolution of Baking History

Baking is a method of cooking food using dry heat, usually in an oven. Common baked goods include bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries. Heat transfers from the surface to the center, transforming batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm crust and soft interior. Baking was central to early human societies as bread cultivation led to more organized communities and the development of towns from nomadic lifestyles. Wheat was brought to the Philippines by Spanish missionaries in the 17th century to make communion bread, and the Philippine baking industry is now embracing innovation to support growth.

What is Baking?

Baking is a method of preparing food that uses dry heat, normally in an oven, but can
also be done in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but
many other types of foods are baked. [1] Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of
cakes, cookies, and breads to their center. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and
dough into baked goods and more with a firm dry crust and a softer center". [2] Baking can be
combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods
simultaneously, or one after the other. Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept
of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.

History of Bread

Bread was central to the formation of early human societies. From the Fertile Crescent,
where wheat was domesticated, cultivation spread north and west, to Europe and North
Africa, and east towards East Asia. This in turn led to the formation of towns, as opposed to
the nomadic lifestyle, and gave rise to more and more sophisticated forms of societal
organization. Similar developments occurred in the Americas with maize.

breads and quick breads, layer cakes and loaf cakes, doughnuts and fruit desserts, pies and
simple pastries. Taking as his starting point 1796, the year the first American cookbook was

for exemplary baking recipes by and for home cooks. Perusing old cookbooks, journals, and
handwritten diaries from libraries and private archives, he has skillfully recreated treasured
recipes or used them as inspiration for his own thoroughly up-to-date creations.

Included are historical finds like the original Parker House Rolls; Lindy’s Cheesecake, from
the world-famous New York restaurant; and a sensationally easy butterscotch cake that won
a national baking contest in 1954. Here as well are hundreds of contemporary standouts,
