On one trip, his mother gave Gregory a loaf of bread. Along with that, she also wrote down how to make bread. She did that so that her son would learn to cook his own food. However, at that time there was no hole in the middle of the bread cooked by my mother.

Gregory was driving a ship at sea when suddenly a storm came. To protect him from the storm, he took the bread and put it on the ship's pole. After the storm was over, he looked at the bread again. There was a hole in the middle of the bread. He liked the bread with holes better than the bread without holes.

That day was 22 June 1847. Gregory then asked his cook to make a loaf of bread with a hole in the middle. Favorite launch of most of us the donut has started from there.
