Bread is the oldest baked bread to have come to light during an excavation in Turkey more than 5000 years ago .

The bread was charred and buried under the entrance of a dwelling built around 3300 BC .

A piece had been torn off, before the bread was burnt, then buried when the house was built.

Bread was made with emmer flour , an ancient variety of wheat, lentil seeds, bulgur and lentils.

Local mayor wants to revive the cultivation of Kavilca wheat, which is resistant to drought.
