The origin of bread

Egyptian slaves fell asleep and invented bread.

Legend has it that around 2600 BC, an Egyptian slave made cakes for his master with water and flour. One night, before the cake was baked, he fell asleep and the stove went out. In the evening, the bread began to ferment and expand. By the time the slave woke up, the dough cake was twice as big as last night. He quickly stuffed the bread back into the stove, thinking that no one would know that he had fallen asleep before finishing his work. The cake is baked, loose and soft.

Perhaps the flour, water or sweetener (perhaps honey) in the bread is exposed to wild yeast or bacteria in the air. When they are heated for a period of time, yeast will grow and spread all over the cake. Egyptians continued to experiment with yeast and became the first generation of professional bakers in the world.
