    sourdough bread (although ancient Egypt had it, the practice got revived in California)

    I mean, what ? sourdough has been the main leavening agent used in Europe until late middle ages. For some breads based on special flours, and some products (panettone for example IIRC), it has never stopped being the main leavening agent up until the present day, again in Europe.
