Bake with a 4,500-year-old sourdough culture from the pyramids of Giza.

In 1991, an ancient bakery was discovered near the pyramids of Giza, believed to have fed tens of thousands of workers during the construction of these monumental structures around 4500 B.C. A distinguished physician and scientist reached out to a leading archaeologist to collect microbial samples from the walls of the site, hoping to uncover traces of early natural leavening agents. After extensive excavation, he succeeded in isolating what is now known as the Giza sourdough culture. This discovery and the revival of ancient baking methods were featured in the January 1995 issue of National Geographic.
