For some very interesting information about bread read link below.
Bread was not invented but rather discovered and many countries put their own spin on bread making. Each country contributing something beneficial to enhance the flavor and improve the overall loaf.

EXCERPT BELOW
Wheat has been cultivated by man since before recorded history. It is conjectured by anthropologists that hungry hunter/gatherers first stockpiled the grain as a storable food source. When it got wet, it sprouted, and people found that if the grain was planted it yielded yet more seeds.
Grown in Mesopotamia and Egypt, wheat was likely first merely chewed. Later it was discovered that it could be pulverized and made into a paste. Set over a fire, the paste hardened into a flat bread that kept for several days. It did not take much of a leap to discover leavened (raised) bread when yeast was accidentally introduced to the paste.

Europeans had bread over 10,000 years ago.
However, it is not the light weight bread that most people think of. Ancient breads were not made with yeast. The bread used in ancient times were flat breads (like tortillas).

no one ever invented bread, but they made it. early in the civilazation of mesopotamia, they grew crops, such as wheat and barely. then, the took flour, and mixed it up with a little bit of water. they then covered the outside with some barely, and made a loaf. so the accual answer to your queston is...a human!...in mesopotamia it couldve also been the egyptians or nubians near the tributaries of the nile leading to the med. sea. my best answer percent is low. wink, wink

God invented it. He had to give it to each one of his people.
