Bread has been a staple food of humankind for literally thousands of years. Even before the yeast bacteria that make it rise were discovered, bread nourished people in almost every civilization. It is thought that the first bread dates back as far as the Neolithic era, perhaps stumbled upon through the accidental cooking of water and cereal grains. Yet a simple crust of bread has forever changed how man survives vicious, cold winters with no crops or a scarcity of animals to hunt. And bread is still one of the most widely consumed foods in the world today. As modern as we are, we are still largely dependent on bread and food products derived from bread for our daily sustenance.
