In which country did the history of bread and cakes begin? Where did the first one come from? And through what history did it come to China?

It first started in Egypt and Rome, was introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and was sublimated in the late 1970s.

According to the records of food historians, the first skilled bakers (cake makers) should be the early Egyptians, who were also the first people to practice baking as an art. In the long history, whether it was the early Egyptians or the Europeans in the Middle Ages, what they called "cake" was not what it is today.

Our country's bread-making technology was introduced from abroad.

First, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Italian missionary Matteo and the German missionary Tang Ruowang in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties introduced the bread-making method to the southeastern coastal cities in my country, and then to the inland;

Second, when the Russian Empire built the Dongqing Railway in 1867, they introduced bread-making technology to Northeast my country.

The Industrial Revolution in Europe at the end of the 8th century caused a large number of housewives to leave their families and go into factories. From then on, the bread industry emerged. At the same time, machinery for making bread began to appear. The flour mixing machine was invented in 1870, the shaping machine was invented in 1880, the dough dividing machine appeared in 1890, and the oven appeared in 1888.

The emergence of mechanization has led to a rapid development of bread production. Several large bakeries and companies were produced. After bread production technology was introduced to various countries, each country gradually formed its own bread type based on its own conditions and eating habits. Most bread in Europe is hard bread, while most bread in Asia is soft bread.
