What is Sourdough Bread?
Sourdough bread is a naturally fermented bread celebrated for its tangy flavor, crusty crust, and chewy texture. Unlike conventional store-bought bread, sourdough undergoes a slow fermentation process that breaks down gluten, making it easier to digest and more gut-friendly.
Perfect for home bakers and bread enthusiasts, sourdough can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of recipes like sandwiches, toast, and artisan loaves.
What is a Sourdough Starter?
A sourdough starter is a wild ferment of water and flour containing natural yeast and beneficial lactic acid bacteria. It’s the essential ingredient that makes sourdough bread rise naturally while giving it its signature tangy taste.
Sourdough starters are versatile and not just for bread! You can use them to make scones, waffles, crumpets, crackers, and more.
