I'm more curious how did people learn to make flour and bread, when during none of the intermediate steps do you have anything edible.

Bread was the result of beer being left in the sun to forment and the probably accidentally dumped in some flour. Ta-da! Bread.

Not sure why you were downvoted as only male bovines have horns and that means no udders or milk.
