What, garlic bread?
Thanks for the meal inspo OP
I think I’ll go and make this right now
More like about 10,000 years ago when humans started farming and agriculture to grow crops at scale to make bread … then at about the same time they domesticated cows in order to harvest milk and figure out how to make and store butter.
The earliest known bread recipe dates back approximately 14,500 years, discovered in a stone fireplace at a site in northeastern Jordan, where charred remains of a pita-like flatbread were found.

Man, it must have been hella stale by then.
Nothing a little water and microwave can’t fix
And “only” 5000 years if you count when people started using yeast for bread production, since the bread ain’t the same without yeast.
There are plenty of bread without yeast.
It’s pretty hard not to use yeast. It’s everywhere and if you wait long it enough it’ll start to ferment. Look at what some Orthodox Jews go through to make unleavened bread.
Behold! The bread hierarchy!
Flour + water = hardtack
Flour + water + yeast = bread
Flour + water + yeast + butter = toast
Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar = muffin
Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs = cake
Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate = brownie
Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate + cream = cupcake
Flour + water = hardtack
clack clack
:D
Pre-agricultural humans did still have access to flour and milk though.
But what did they milk to make butter?
I could make bread right now. But I just want to eat bread right now. I don’t wanna wait for it to rise and cook 😩
I guarantee you will still want to eat some bread later, and you’ll even thank your past self for making the bread
1st world problems
Do you think people in other countries make their own bread? 🤨
Bread remains one of the cheapest foods. Get some frozen bread, rinse it quickly with water, then bake it.
As good as fresh, dirt cheap, and you don’t have to bake.
And then for some of us, our bodies are like, “lol you’ve had enough of this. Now even just crumbs will fuck you up for a week or more.” It was a good run.
I love dipping that in some Zatar dip. I basically add a bit of olive oild to a small dish, then salt to taste a bunch of zatar, mix then dip away!!!
