The first-known leavened bread made with semi-domesticated yeast dates back to 1000 BCE in Egypt. Yet, scholars debate the exact origin, as evidence suggests that Mesopotamians also produced yeast-risen bread. This is a potentially 4,000 years old process

The examples in the video don‘t fit. Most of them don‘t use yeast for driving the baked product.

The way they become fluffy 😋

Puff pastry is very satisfying to see baking

Wheat was cultivated more than 10,000 years ago. I would think that someone would have stumbled upon leavening sometime within the first 6,000 years.

Ironic, because it's unleavened bread that tastes like it's 4000 years old. 🤣

What is the meaning of life? You know, we humans are baking loaves of bread with yeast for millennia and still don't have the answer. I mean, what's the point of this whole thing?

Leavening uses yeast or other natural agents, like sourdough starter, to create carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough to rise. This discovery might have happened accidentally when wild yeast in the environment fermented dough, leading to the creation of leavened bread
