Credit for the invention of the first practical electric toaster goes to Charles P. Strite of Stillwater, Minnesota. It's said that Strite had grown tired of the smell (and most certainly the taste!) of burnt toast in the company cafeteria, so he set out to fix the problem.

Strite was granted US Patent 1394450 on October 18, 1921 for his invention. Interestingly enough, his simple savior was nearly unsuccessful until the invention of sliced bread a few years later made toasting with Strite's device a truly practical endeavor.

It was about 6,000 years ago that the Egyptians invented fluffy bread as we know it. they soon learned that if they put it under intense heat, it makes toast. so to answer your question, Egyptians made toast

Without bread, there would be no toasters. It was about 6,000 years ago that the Egyptians invented fluffy bread as we know it. Before that bread was unleavened, flat and hard. Egyptian bakers somehow discovered that kneading the dough with their feet made the dough rise because of the natural yeasts between their toes. (It's believed that the discovery of cheesemaking had a similar foot-note in history. Grilled cheese, anyone?) This softer bread was so valued that Egyptian workers were paid in bread at the end of the day, making them the first breadwinners.
