National Homemade Bread Day

Flour, water, salt, yeast, time. The oldest comfort.

Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods, with evidence of flatbreads going back at least 14,000 years. Leavened bread, which rises because of fermentation, has been made for at least 6,000 years. The COVID-19 pandemic produced a sourdough revival that introduced millions of people to home baking.
