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.
And "only" 5000 years if you count when people started using yeast for bread production, since the bread ain't the same without yeast.
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
Max Miller aww yeah
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
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 ๐ฉ
I guarantee you will still want to eat some bread later, and you'll even thank your past self for making the bread
As an USAmerican. The absolute travesty that we sell in the grocery store is one of the worst crimes against humanity.
I want to live in world where we're all walking distance from a bakery that makes real bread daily.
do your grocery stores not all have bakeries in house, too?
like, I get that Walmart and the like can price out local bakeries, and then sell you shit "fresh" bread instead once they've forced the local small businesses to close. but it's better than the stuff that never moulds, yeah?
Walmart baked in house bread is close to the never molds variety. It uses modern GMO wheat with added preservatives and shortcut chemicals to reduce prep time from days to hours. Not to mention added sugars. Defending it would be like defending Subways "fresh baked bread" which isn't even legally allowed to be called bread in certain European countries. At one point they were caught putting the stuff in foam yoga mats in their bread.
In my opinion, that "bread" is a very distant cousin of homemade sourdough spelt (or whatever locally sourced whole grains was available) traditional known as bread.
1st world problems
Do you think people in other countries make their own bread? ๐คจ
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.
...then bake it.
...
...you don't have to bake.

Bread ๐
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!!!
Thanks for the meal inspo OP
I think I'll go and make this right now
What, garlic bread?
