DOUGH MIXERS
The first mechanical dough mixer was supposedly invented in the 1st century AD by Marcus Virgilius Euryasaces, a freed slave. It 'consisted of a large stone basin in which wooden paddles, powered by a horse or donkey walking in circles, kneaded the dough mixture of flour, leaven, and water.' (Encyclopedia Brittanica)
Electric bread machines were introduced in 1992.
