How Could a Scientist Intentionally Discover Penicillin

In our timeline Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin by accidentally leaving petri dishs out over a long period of time.

If a person from an earlier time, e.g. ancient Rome, woke up and knew of penicillin's existence and significance, could they discover it themselves? For example, would setting out 100 batches of dough work?
