Bread legend: Around 2600 BC, there was an Egyptian slave who made bread with water and flour for his master. One night, before the bread was baked, he fell asleep and the stove went out.
During the night, the dough began to ferment and expand.
When the slave woke up, the dough was twice as big as last night.
He quickly stuffed the bread into the stove, thinking that no one would know that he had fallen asleep before he finished his work.
The bread was baked, and both slave and master found it much better than the flat pancakes they were used to eating. It was spongy and soft.
Perhaps the flour, water, or sweetener (perhaps honey) in the dough was exposed to wild yeasts or bacteria in the air, and after a period of warmth, the yeast grew and spread throughout the
Flatbread.
The Egyptians continued to experiment with yeast and became the world's first generation of professional bakers.
Coffee Coffee has always been popular throughout history.
Napoleon called coffee an "intellectual drink," and French philosopher and writer Voltaire is said to have drank seventy-two cups of coffee a day.
There was a period in Turkey where a wife could divorce her husband if he could not provide her with coffee.
In 1735, German composer Johann Sebastian Bach completed his "Coffee Cantata", a piece that sang the praises of coffee.
So where did the trend of drinking coffee originate?
According to legend, it was a shepherd boy named Cardi who discovered coffee by accident.
Nearly two thousand years ago, he was grazing his goats on a hillside by the Red Sea.
The goat started munching on some berries from a bush and soon after eating the berries the goat was jumping up and down with excitement.
Cardi decided to try the fruit himself, and soon he was jumping with excitement.
After seeing this strange scene, a monk from a nearby monastery also went to taste some of the fruit.
He ran hot water over the coffee beans and loved the taste.
He passed this drink to other brothers in the monastery, and everyone was in high spirits and high spirits during evening prayers.
Of course, coffee is still enjoyed around the world today.
