The Incredible Bread Made from 4,500-Year-Old Ingredients

Imagine eating bread made with 4,500-year-old yeast. Seamus Blackley, a physicist and bread lover, carried out an experiment using the ancient ingredient. The yeast was collected from Egyptian pottery by a team of scientists and archaeologists. Their goal was to bring the flavor of ancient bread back to life.
To make the bread, Blackley carefully used traditional grains and wild yeast. He added water and let the mixture sit for a week before baking it. The result? A loaf that was much sweeter and richer than today’s bread.
Blackley said the flavor was unlike anything he had tasted. He hopes that experiments like this can help people feel connected to the past. “We want to be closer to these people,” he explained. Blackley and his team plan to carry out further studies to learn even more.
