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.

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.

Flour + water = hardtack
Flour + water + yeast = bread
Flour + water + yeast + butter = toast
Flour + water + yeast + butter + sugar = muffin
Flour + water + yeast + butter + sugar + eggs = cake
Flour + water + yeast + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate = brownie
Flour + water + yeast + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate + cream = cupcake

There are plenty of bread without yeast.

Yes there are, but the one in the picture clearly was made with 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.

Pre-agricultural humans did still have access to flour and milk though.
