The oldest bread in the world was found - and it is 8,600 years old. Archaeologists found the bread as early as 2021 while excavating an ancient oven building and found remnants of a sponge of unknown origin.
The analysis of the findings revealed that it was uncooked dough that was probably fermented around 6,600 BC. The bread was covered in a unique way that allowed it to be preserved relatively well for thousands of years. Some claim that an older bread has been found in the past. In 2018, archaeologists discovered 14,400-year-old remains of flat bread.
