Baking bread, cakes, pastries and other goods at home for the household's own table, apart from baking as a commercial trade. Long a routine domestic task rather than a choice, it has also become a deliberately chosen hobby in its own right, pursued for pleasure rather than necessity.
Facts
OriginHome baking is an ancient domestic practice. Isabella Beeton's 1861 Book of Household Management could still describe it as the ordinary case rather than the exception, noting that every family used to prepare the bread for its own consumption, the trade of baking not having yet taken shape. 1 Cross-Tradition Connections
