When was the first loaf of bread baked?

Hi Friends!

Am back with some more 'Saundhi' aspects of the earthy breads...I have wonder many a times who was the first smart person to have come up with the concept of breads, rotis or chappatis that has literally revolutionized the food habits of millions of people across the world for centuries?.

Life's Bread & Butter

LiIsn't it surprising that the so called people referred to as 'ancient' and 'uncivilized' were the first to recognize the value of grains such as wheat and rice and of course several other grains and cereals that are regionally available and later converted then into edible stuff. I am sure even the cultivation of the crops and processing them must have been interesting. Today, we are literally reaping the benefits of our ancestors....The nutritive qualities of these grains and cereals have withstood the test of time and satiated the hunger of people for ages.

In other continents breads of different, sizes, shapes, textures do the same function as our indigenous naan, kulchas, jau ki roti, missi roti, sattu roti, paranthas,etc., best described as desi breads which form the base and accompaniment to vegetables, curries, soups, etc.

Over the period innovations have introduced stuffed breads and rotis, chappatis etc....They are all season friendly, handy and quite a fill to quell hunger pangs..

Can any of you come up with an exhaustive list of breads and indigenous breads and their native origin etc....

You never know a new find or variant of bread could just be a bite away!
