Greece has a wonderful array of breads , arising from historical and geographical influences . Here, not only are there the Arabian-style breads of the ottoman Empire, but also indigenous breads with a long history , which are still baked ,particularly on the islands , by people who keep these traditions alive. On some of the Aegean Islands, up until very recently, the wheat and barley harvested by landowners would be carried to the windmill for milling into flour. The dough would then be made and shaped, before being taken to the village oven for baking. Such traditions have now almost entirely died out, and in the cities the bakeries are as sophisticated as those anywhere else in Europe. But in many small villages , on the islands or in the moumtains , people still buy the simple but large white crusty bread, which is frequently still baked in an old brick oven, the brushwood being collected by the baker or his family each evening ready forthe next day's baking. Throughout Greece local bakers produce their own special breads, which necessarily becomes a favorite which their customers. In the cities, the more enterprising bakeries produce a wide range of breads flavored with raisins, olives and herbs, but among the islands and in the mountains , most loaves continue to be of the plain, farmhouse
