"The Butcher, Baker and the Candlestick Maker," the men the whole community knew and purchased from. They transcended the classes.

We learned our ancestors used to bring their food to the baker in the morning when they walked to the community wash to do laundry. They picked it up on the way back home in the evening. This was in Alsace, France

I own a house in a small village in Greece, The original part of the house is around 950 years old (possibly older), It still has the original bakers oven in, and yes, it served the whole village when it was in use. It gets fired up once a year for Easter, and literally feeds the village. Ofcourse there is a new bakery now, with it's own oven - but they still like to use ours for the important celebrations.

My wife's great-grandmother had a bread recipe that required you to get up and start it at 4 in the morning. The recipe was taught to my wife's mother by her mother. She hated getting up that early, so she called the great-grandmother and asked why the recipe required you to get up so early. She found out that the only reason to get up that early was to beat everybody else to the village's communal oven. It was an obsolete step, but had become a part of the recipe, and nobody had ever questioned it before.
Edit: There are so many people in the comments who don't understand how things were a century or more ago. They're insults are born of pure ignorance and hubris. Had they been born back then, they would have continued starting the recipe early in the morning the same as the generations had before them. They aren't as special as they think they are. I believe the phrase I'm looking for is "Haters gonna hate". Welcome to the internet.

My dad (born in 1947 Spain) knew this woman in his town, they called her Lola la del Horno (Lola the one with the oven) Because in her house they had a huge oven, and people in the neighbourhood would prepare the dough at home and take it to bake at their house

That oath to the community is so cool. People don't realize the contract between the chef and the eater is so important, the chef must do everything in their power to make sure their food is free from any toxins or contamination. It is unfortunate how many times social contract has been broken in the name of profit.

Why didn't everyone just bake their own bread?
"Well first I wake up, plow the fields until noon, collect water from the river, feed the pigs, then it's time for prayer. The wood needs chopping, the roof needs fixing, and we need new baskets before the harvest comes due.
To put it simply, ain't nobody got time for that!
Except the Baker... and that's why we love him."

In Spain it's still relatively common to have roasted chicken done in a bakery!

They also developed branding for their breads to help identify their products. Quality control and product branding earliest start.

And the penalties for a baker short changing their customers was sever. To avoid getting into trouble by giving short weight, bakers tended to sell items in quantities and then throw in a free item. This became known as a Baker's dozen. For example, the standard weight of 12 loaves might be 5 pounds but what if one loaf was an 16th pound light. Better to give an extra loaf and avoid the penalties of shorting your customer on the weight of his dozen loaves.

Baked my first 2 loaves of bread this past week using Townsend's bread recipe. It came out perfect. I had no idea how easy it is to bake your own bread; it tastes 100% better than whats available at the grocery store.

One of the reasons why bakers were often wealthy(or even very wealthy) and bakers' guilds were very influential. if you had a big bakery in a city serving the higher classes, you were among the top guys and probably had an hand in local politics. If you had a bakery in a big city you were basically printing money. I remember reading that at one point a baker had an exclusivity contract with the Emperor of the HRE, baking for the whole palace and most of the court. He got so wealthy he bought a big three stories house on the main square and rode around in a chariot with two white spanish purebreds. Today's equivalent of having a villa in Tuscany and a yacht on lake Como. This was in renaissance times, not victorian era though, maybe even apocryphal, but yeah, bakers could get incredibly wealthy.

I think this is a great example of how division of labor came about and why, for example, everyone doesn't just farm and hunt: that kind of life requires everyone to know something about everything, and to have the tools to be able to do all of those things. It can be inefficient and taxing. The main hitch to this division of labor, as you alluded to, is that being the town baker/blacksmith/forester means that you have a responsibility to your community to do your job well enough so that only a few people in the community have to do it.
This was a cool video, I hope you make more!

In the village of my great great grand parents, there was no baker, just a common oven they lit up twice a weak, every household had to manage their own schedule around
My grand father used to tell me and my siblings, as a bedtime story, how his grand mother faced a lone hungry wolf on her way back from the common oven once
To teach us to always be grateful for the food in our plates, for the nice breads our grandmother would make in the convenient oven from the kitchen, for all the things we enjoy thanks to the courage and strengh of those before us โค

During Winter more households had a fire going but in 50% or more of the year a fire was a waste of recources. In some communitys like where I live they had a special house and every family contributed. Some made the tools, build the oven, spended the wheat or fire materials and some did the work. My family on my fathers side were woodworkers (Stellmacher) for minimum 8 generations and part-time farmers (like most others). We mostly made tools.

Even back in the medieval times, there were rules and punishments set up to ward against bad Bakers (ie bakers who mixed their flour with non edible stuff like limestone). With punishments ranging from banishment, to getting dunked in the river.

This still happens in Pakistan. Nobody has the space to build personal tanoors (large ovens) so there are shops that people go to. They usually have a few varieties. Naan, roti, afghani etc. Different shapes, taste etc. The bread is always fresh and delicious.

There is actually a funny story about that too. Some researchers or an equivalent (I think it was here in Norway, but may be wrong) found that many kids in poorer - yet suffient - areas displayed a variety of more healthy traits (I think it involved gut heslth, teeth etc.). Some later suspects have been the prevalence of sugar in upper classes, but also the fact that poorer people ate more nutricious, brown and coarse bread.

It is funny how the top and bottom tiers have swapped in modern time
