They also had yeast that they could get from the local brewer.

And since bread was highly regulated, it was generally made by a trained baker, who used the highest quality flour they could get... which was still often very coarsely ground with the occasional bit of sand from the grindstones.

But it was leavened, and had salt, because everyone could get salt. The stuff was everywhere. And still is.

Yeah even the iron age gauls did that.
