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.
Best meal ever

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.

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.

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.

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 😩

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.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 hours ago
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?

Yeah, I’m also from the US and my grocery store sells pretty solid breads. I also have solid French and Italian bakeries walking distance from my house. I also live in the suburbs.
Some people only have Dollar General.
US very big and very varied. So I’m from Jersey, if that helps, because I think it’s important to be specific. We have great bread, great bagels, great pizza and for this I am very thankful.

I guarantee you will still want to eat some bread later, and you’ll even thank your past self for making the bread
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Dunno where you’re at but Trader Joe’s sells these half-baked breads, so you just pop it in the oven and bring it over the finish line. They’re honestly not half bad, and you get freshly baked bread.

Do you think people in other countries make their own bread? 🤨
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
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.
69420@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
…then bake it.
…
…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.
