Turkey recreates and sells 5,000-year-old bread

Archaeologists in Turkey have recreated a 5,000-year-old bread recipe, with the loaves selling out quickly after their release to the public. The ancient bread was discovered during an excavation. The bread, dating back to 3,300 BC, was found charred and buried in central Turkey. Analysis revealed it was made with emmer flour, lentils, and a plant-based yeast. The discovery has spurred interest in drought-resistant ancient wheat cultivation in the region, as the local mayor aims to revive the Kavilca wheat. The bread is now on display.
