   Sourdough may be the oldest of all leavened bread forms. It dates back to at least 4,000 B.C., when favorable microorganisms drifted accidentally into wheat bread made by Egyptians. The dough, probably set aside awhile before baking, didn't rise very much, but it was enough to give it a lighter texture and a better taste. Word of this new bread spread, and curiosity was raised. Soon, adding ferments to bread dough was a common practice. Beer, grape juice, wine, and wheat flour porridge left to "go sour" were leavening regulars in the ancient world. Still, the demanding process of leavening bread made such bread a scarce food well into the Middle Ages.
