The history

In Egypt, around 1000 BC, inquiring minds isolated yeast and were able to introduce this culture directly to their breads. Also, a new strain of wheat was developed to provide the refined white bread. This was the first truly modern bread. Up to thirty varieties of bread may have been popular in ancient Egypt.
