Although, it is a specific strain of wild yeast, called Lactobacillus, which creates the unique taste. īy the Middle Ages commercial bakeries had tamed and collected various yeasts and it was soon after realized that it was first created by beer brewers yeast. Due to the fact that ovens did not come until much later, the bread was still fairly flat but had different flavour characteristics. įirst made as early as 3000 BC by the Egyptians, lactic acid bacteria and yeast cause the leavening of the bread when left to rise, creating the characteristic puffiness and flavour that distinguishes leavening and flat breads. Although there is no documentation on the first discovery of sourdough bread, it is thought to be one of the oldest foods known to man and was discovered completely by accident with a piece of dough from the previous baking, which soured and rose while the dough was stored. Sourdough bread is leavening bread with a sour tang taste.
