Baking

Dry-Heat Cooking Methods

Baking is a dry-heat cooking method in which food is cooked by surrounding it with hot air, traditionally in an oven but also historically in hot ashes or on heated stones. It is most closely associated with bread, and also produces cakes, pastries, cookies and other goods built from a batter or dough; because it relies on enclosed, indirect heat rather than direct flame or radiant heat, baking cooks food more slowly and evenly than grilling or roasting over an open source, and it underlies nearly all leavened and unleavened breads worldwide.

Facts
Origin Period, From (Year)
from -12,400 1
Approximate, treated as circa 12,400 BCE from the reported age of about 14,400 years (2018 report); the exact calendar year depends on the radiocarbon dating convention used and is not resolved further here. Earliest currently known evidence, not necessarily the technique's true origin point.
Origin Region
Shubayqa 1, northeastern Jordan (earliest currently known archaeological evidence) 1
This is the earliest currently known evidence of bread baking, not necessarily the technique's true first occurrence anywhere; baking on hot stones or in ashes may be older and undocumented.
