Sourdough is authentically Egyptian to about 3000 BC. So, while I have no
documentation, I'm certain it was used in period.
BTW, Platina's bread recipe is very possibly a sourdough as he used a leaven
to produce it. Unfortunately, I do not believe he explained how to get the
initial leaven. Your sourdough is a form of leaven.
