History of Bread

Tonight, we’ll read about the history of bread-making in Europe and America, from “The History of Bread”, written by John Ashton and published in 1905. Snoozecast first aired this story back in 2020.


The text mentions windmills, which in the past were structures built to harness wind power to perform strenuous tasks, specifically they were well know for milling grain. But one of the earliest working windmill designs was found in Ancient Persia and used to both pump water and grind grain.

Windmills were adopted throughout late medieval and early modern European times. At their peak, Europe contained an estimated 200,000 windmills in the year 1850. With the Industrial Revolution, they were eventually replaced by steam mills and internal combustion engines.
