📜 A Brief History of Simple Bread
Bread is one of the oldest foods in human history, dating back over 12,000 years. Early breads were made with only flour and water, sometimes naturally fermented. As baking evolved, yeast and salt were added, but the heart of bread remained simple. This recipe honors that tradition—minimal ingredients, maximum comfort.
