Europe is the main birthplace of West Point, and the Egyptians were the first people in the world to make bread by fermentation. As early as 6,000 years ago, in the pyramid era, there were bread-like foods made from grains in Egypt. At that time, they knew to mix flour with water, potatoes and salt, put it in a hot place and ferment it with the original yeast in the air. When the dough is made, they knead the flour into dough and bake it in a mud kiln. At that time, they only knew the method of fermentation and didn't know how to make it. It was not until17th century that the principle of yeast fermentation was discovered and the old dough fermentation method was improved. Today, in addition to making bread in China, many steamed buns are made by this dough fermentation method.
The evolution of oven has a great influence on the quality of bread. At first, the oven used in Egypt was built in a circle with mud, the upper part was opened to keep the air circulating, and the bottom was lit. When the oven temperature reaches a certain temperature, the fire goes out and ashes are scattered everywhere. Then put the prepared batter into the oven and cook it by the heat in the oven. In BC 1300, Egypt introduced the fermentation technology to Malestan in the Mediterranean, in 65438 BC.
