    And “only” 5000 years if you count when people started using yeast for bread production, since the bread ain’t the same without yeast.

      It’s pretty hard not to use yeast. It’s everywhere and if you wait long it enough it’ll start to ferment. Look at what some Orthodox Jews go through to make unleavened bread.

      Behold! The bread hierarchy!

      Flour + water = hardtack

      Flour + water + yeast = bread

      Flour + water + yeast + butter = toast

      Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar = muffin

      Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs = cake

      Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate = brownie

      Flour + water + leavener + butter + sugar + eggs + chocolate + cream = cupcake
