People have known about pies since ancient times. In fact, cooking this type of pastry began almost immediately after bread and dough were invented. However, there is an opinion that the first pies were not edible. That is, the dough shell was used as a container for food. The filling was put into the inedible dough and carried from home to work.
Later, the cooks of antiquity decided to try to make bread edible. That’s how the first pies were made.
