Bread prepared from 4500-year-old Egyptian yeast
Blackley said, I am bread nerd as I love nothing more than baking bread from scratch.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Egyptologist, avid baker and one of the creators of the Xbox Seamus Blackley has prepared bread from 4,500-year-old yeast extracted from ancient Egyptian ceramic pots.
"The bread is safe as when you bake something at 500 degrees for 40 minutes, nothing in it survives," said Blackley. "This is sterilized."
He said, “I am bread nerd as I love nothing more than baking bread from scratch.”
“It’s much sweeter and more rich than the sourdough we are used to. It’s a big difference. … The crumb is light and airy, especially for a 100% ancient grain loaf. The aroma and flavor are incredible. I’m emotional. It’s really different, and you can easily tell even if you’re not a bread nerd. This is incredibly exciting, and I’m so amazed that it worked,” Blackley said.
