View submission: Why does Europe do Loaves?

This post[1] has a similar question with content by u/tempuramores that explains some of the background on various flatbreads, but does not answer the heart of your question - which is why large loaves/ovens proliferated in Europe but don't seem to have gained a foothold elsewhere. I am also curious as to the answer so I look forward to seeing some new top-level responses
