Baking has traditionally been performed at home for day-to-day meals and
in bakeries and restaurants for local consumption. When production was
industrialized, baking was automated by machines in large factories. The
art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is important for nutrition,
as baked goods, especially bread, are a common and important food, both
from an economic and cultural point of view. A person who prepares baked
goods as a profession is called a baker.
