Baking is an ancient art. It was practiced by almost all peoples before they had writing. Put a mixture of pounded moistened grains and/or other things on a hot rock and that's baking. History suggests that Egyptians learned the art from the Babylonians, which is almost certain. But consider that even as primitive peoples used hot rocks to warm themselves at night, they likely used them in cooking and baking. These primitives were smart and inventive - or we wouldn't be here. The availability of different local foodstuffs and the creativity of the baker made for a wide variety of wonderful things to eat. As cooking methods and ingredient selection became more sophisticated, different appliances or "constructions" appeared leading to a more complete enclosure. The "traditional" oven we know stands at the end of a very long line of technical evolution. Though some ovens today may have openings and no "doors" on them like the ones we may be used to using, they do trap heat. Certainly the ovens are traditional fixtures, whether built from clay, brick or steel and glass, and, when used by a skilled artisan, produce fabulous goodies in a range of types and forms, these being limited only by the availability of edible items and imagination. Regardless of the appliance and whether electricity, natural gas, solar energy, or burning wood or other combustables is used as a heat source, a clever individual with a bit of patience and practice can produce a variety of fabulous baked goods in a manner that has roots in the stone age.
