Bread, in its many forms, has been a staple in diets around the world for thousands of years. The art of bread making can be traced back to ancient times, around 8000 BC, when the first grinding stone, called a quern, was invented in Egypt. The simplicity and versatility of bread has allowed it to adapt and evolve across different cultures and cuisines. The recipe we know today, using yeast to leaven the bread, was likely discovered by accident when yeast spores - present everywhere in the environment - landed on a mixture of flour and water. The Egyptians, always innovative, recognized the fluffy result was a lighter, more enjoyable eat and started intentionally using yeast to make light, fluffy bread. They became the pioneers of today's airy, soft delights, like the moat bread. So each bite of moat bread is a nibble on a rich, flavourful history dating back thousands of years.
