Sourdough Bread Day is observed on April 1. The world’s oldest leavened breads, Sourdough bread has been there for ages and it's an iconic bread in San Francisco. Most likely the first form of leavening available to bakers, it is believed sourdough originated in Ancient Egyptian times around 1500 BC.
The bread was so common at that time the word “sourdough” became a nickname for the gold prospectors. In The Yukon and Alaska, a “sourdough” is also a nickname given to someone who has spent an entire winter north of the Arctic Circle.
