It would seem that people came to making flour products when they started growing wheat. However, growing grain crops is by no means equal to making bread. The fact is that before making bread, a person had to guess to produce dough.
Originally, dough was quite different. Grains were ground with stones, so the flour was not always homogeneous.
Later, special devices for grinding flour were invented
.
The mechanism of baking bread became larger in scale, huge factories are still working to produce baked goods.

Leave the opara at room temperature under cellophane for 15 minutes. Then sift the remaining flour into the opara and start kneading the dough.
