Some general books on wheat foods technology, such as Wheat:
chemistry and technology, edited by the late Y. Pomeranz, contain
very brief discussions of the historical origins of wheat and of baking,
but these generally make reference to older texts and articles. A recent
historical sketch of the development of bread baking, including chronological
tables of major events in the history of bread from about 7000 B.C. to
1987 A.D..
The series "Six thousand years of bakers and baking" (noted above)began with
the July 30, 1921 issue (page 39). The series contains much information on very early
baking practices, very little of which has been printed elsewhere. There are also numerous
photographs and illustrations of ancient artifacts, including bakery models and artifacts
from Dynastic Egypt and earlier.
Internet access to collections of papyrus fragments (which may or may not contain
reference to baking history) is available at the University
of Michigan. At
least one similar collection is still in the indexing stage.
