Sourdough bread that make sandwich dreams come true. The History of Sourdough is a tale as old as time.
Although the oldest extant example of bread we have is an unleavened Swiss loaf dated to around 5700 years ago, the
oldest evidence of sourdough we currently have hails from Egypt in around 1500BCE, where it is assumed that someone left
either a flatbread dough mixture or porridge out overnight. Upon returning, they discovered this mixture was bubbly and
smelled differently due to the yeast and bacteria that had colonized it during the maker’s slumber, and for some reason
they still baked it. I’m glad they did, but I can’t imagine I would have been such an intrepid bread explorer unless I
really didn’t have any food to spare. I assume whomever this glorious person was couldn’t afford to waste the grain.
Either way, although the Egyptians didn’t record the original maker(s) of sourdough starter, they certainly used a
portion of their prolific writing habits to talk a lot about bread.
