#history As for the origin of bread, it is not known when flour began to be kneaded, but there is archaeological evidence that already in prehistory, around 75,000 BC., seeds were ground that mixed with water formed a dough that was cooked in the form of cakes But it wasn't until around 15,000 BC., when, at least in Europe, bread became part of the diet Excavations carried out in the lake area of Switzerland reveal that at that distant date there were already tools for grinding and kneading, as well as cooking means.

In Mesopotamia, nine thousand years ago, it is known that bread was already cooked, and there were also different kinds of flour for its preparation That people ground the grain by crushing it between two large stones, and once the dough was created, they poured it in the form of a thin cake on the hot surface of smooth stones Mesopotamian their cakes of wheat bread, barley, rye, oat and even lentils.
