Who discovered that yeast could be used as a rising agent in making bread.?
Answers:
The actual discovery had to be an accident You can make the a starter dough just by saving simple flour sugar and milk or water and let is set for several days to a week
The natural wild yeast is always present.
I can picture some cook making too much dough and saving a batch only to smell the fermenting batch (it does smell good) and adding more to it only to find the bread rose up.. a pleasant surprise I am sure.
Cooking is an experiment have fun
Bread was mostly flat-bread and was common everywhere even today
