They used the wild yeasts that are in the air all around us. Once you got a yeast going you kept some of it each time you baked to feed and keep going till the next time you baked.

If you ever picked grapes and notice the white powdery stuff on the grapes and leaves. That yeast. Just how they collected it. I don't know.

they make a starter. its very easy to do, simply take an equal amount of flour and water and mix. spread it out and let it sit uncovered. the next day scoop out 1/2 and replace it with more flour and water. so if you start with 8 ounces, take out 4oz of the starter and replace with 2 oz of water and 2 oz of flour. do this for 3 or 4 days and you should have a starter.
