Bread made feeding people cheap.

Bread is a luxury, if feeding people cheap was the only concern, porridge would be a better use of grains than bread. Porridge predominated when peasant culture predominated; bread becomes common with civilization's connections, innovations, and specialization.

So basically people eat porridge when they don’t have access to a mill and oven.
