The Accidental Discovery
Imagine this: It's roughly 30,000 years ago. Our ancestors, living as hunter-gatherers, accidentally leave some wild grain seeds in water. Upon returning, they find the mixture fermented. Curious, they taste it, and thus begins our long relationship with bread.
From Gruel to Flatbread
