The name "bread" covers a wide range of foods prepared using a dough of flour and water. Breads can be sweet, savoury or neither, and can be made using a range of different flours, and then have different things added.
It is one of the oldest foods and still a staple today. At one time, it was common for many households to make their own bread, but this became less common, and purchasing pre-baked - and, for loaves, often pre-sliced - bread became the norm, certainly in the more developed countries. Lacking the time to make their own bread, households would instead buy it from supermarkets and other shops.
There were always some who continued making their own bread and, today, thanks to the invention of the breadmaker, it is now much easier to do this than it used to be. You can make your bread in the traditional way, baking it in an oven, or, instead, you can use a breadmaker to make it, often using pre-mixed kits, so all you need to do to have your own homemade bread (and that's a lovely smell to wake up to) is pour the required ingredients into the breadmaker and select the right programme, and everything is done for you.
