Pretty much the same way we do today, but then it was usually barley ( wheat was too expensive) so the barley was ground, water added, tallow and it was baked in a fireplace among the coals. I think it was a little crunchy.

∙ 12y agoIn the Middle Ages, most people bought their bread, including most serfs who lived on the manors where the grain was grown. The reason for this is that most people could not afford to own an oven. Sometimes millers baked bread as part of their business, but more often, the bread was baked by bakers.
The preparation of bread in those days was very much as it is today, except that the mixing had to be done by hand, and the yeast was kept alive in a bowl, rather than being reconstituted from dry powder. Flour and water were mixed with whatever other things the recipe called for, such as yeast, salt, and seasonings. This was kneaded and allowed to rise through one or more cycles, and was put into the oven until it was done.

Which time period would you preferred to have lived in the Renaissance or the middle ages explain your reasons why?
Personally, I would have preferred to have lived during the Middle Ages. One reason is that people in the Renaissance looked down on those of the Middle Ages as barbarians, but the people of the Renaissance were more superstitious and less rational. They pursued witch hunts and suppressed science in ways that were not done in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, we tend to buy the propaganda of the Renaissance, partly because they were the only ones who could make the comparison - the people of the Middle Ages did not know what was coming. There was a lot of activity in the Middle Ages in engineering, science, philosophy, education, and mathematics that we little of today. The people of the Renaissance tried to work in these fields, but took a less practical and more cosmological point of view, resulting in ecclesiastical suppression. The food and medicine in the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages were no worse that that of the Renaissance. The people of the Middle Ages believed that cleanliness was next to godliness, so they were clean. They also believed that bad air, with bad smells, could carry diseases. The people of the Renaissance covered their bad smells with perfume and called the Middle Ages stinky. The people of the Middle Ages believed in their religion and believed a person was no better than his word. The Renaissance produced Macchiavelli and people who thought he was just dandy. One thing the Renaissance had was a greater proportion of houses that had fireplaces and chimneys.
How was food cooked in the Middle Ages?
In the middle ages the food was cooked in big pots either on hot cols or under heated rocks. Fire existed long before electricity, and they also used some really nifty chemistry tricks as well (for rising bread, etc). In order to make the ovens used for bread-baking, by the way, took nearly 250 man-hours.
When did the iron ages first make bread?
Bread dates back at least to the prior Bronze and Neolithic Ages when agriculture was established and grain produced, a rough estimate would be around 10,000 BC. Iron Age people would be aware of the process by their time.
