Bread was preceded by porridge (crushed grains in water or milk), which was preceded by gruel (raw, whole grains softened in water). Gruel also gave us beer.

To build on this, Wine predates all of it and likely lead to the discovery of yeast bread via contaminated grains stored near fermenting beer or wine.
