ANCIENT SUMERIAN COFFEE CAKE

This is a loaf of bread made in the first century AD, discovered at Pompeii, preserved for centuries in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. So it's probably a little dry. The markings visible on the top are from a Roman bread stamp, which bakeries were required to use in order to mark the source of the loaves and prevent fraud. Nobody likes fake bread.

When you want to start your day off right, you can’t have too much holiness in your breakfast.This Holy Toast Bread Stamper from Fred & Friends offers a simple solution. Just press the image into a slice of bread (white seems to work the best) and throw it in a normal, working toaster. You can also find it on amazon as well for a dollar more, along with the usual collection of amusing reviews.

"A ceramic Byzantine bread stamp, 500-900 AD, which, when pressed into a loaf of dough, would leave the mark 'Jesus Christ Victorious'; it would have been used to make the consecrated bread of the Eucharist."
