As has been said by Lord Bear of the Boulangerie, sourdough is perfectly
acceptable in many period settings. I think perhaps you may be recalling
some statement to the effect that in Northern Europe, you'd be more
likely to find bread being leavened with barm.

Still more evidence suggesting that the term "period" be abandoned as
needlessly confusing...
