LOL I didn't think of that one. It makes u wonder just how hungry our ancesters where.
the one that always gets me is who decided to eat that gunky substance all over bee hives? not that i like honey, but why would you have even contemplated it to begin with???
And who's the ancestor that discovered pigs taste of bacon???
BTW, just for the record - yeast isn't a fungus, it's an enzyme!

c 3000 BC. Tougher wheat varieties were developed and the baking of bread became a skill in Egypt along with brewing beer. In this warm climate wild yeasts were attracted to multi-grain flour mixtures and bakers experimented with leavened doughs.


Should answer the query. Look at history of bread making at : http://www.bakersfederation.org.uk for all things bready.


Looks like as with most 'discoveries' it was a happenchance fact of location, time, and conditions suitable etc etc
