The history of pies goes back to remote antiquity. In fact, pies appeared almost at the same time as ordinary bread. The peoples of the world quickly realized that it was possible to make bread more tasty and nourishing.
But, archaeologists have noticed that the first pies were not what we now call baked goods. The dough of the first pies was inedible. It acted as a vessel where food could be put. So meat, fish and vegetables were easier to carry when traveling.
Nowadays, pies must have a lush, soft dough. This is an attribute of good baking.
