What country does sourdough bread originate from?

Sourdough bread doesn't have a single country of origin. It's a very ancient bread, likely predating written history!

Here's what we know:

* Ancient Origins: Evidence suggests sourdough bread was made in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and even pre-Columbian America.

* Natural Fermentation: The process of using a "starter" (a mixture of flour and water fermented by wild yeast and bacteria) is likely a natural development that arose independently in various cultures.

So, while we can't pinpoint an exact origin, it's safe to say that sourdough bread has been enjoyed around the world for millennia.
