SOURDOUGH BREAD

Welcome to my sourdough library! Here you’ll find my most popular recipes, like Rosemary Sourdough bread and an easy No Knead Sourdough bread, along with videos and step-by-step tutorials to help you make delicious, wholesome bread. Sourdough uses a sourdough starter, which is wild yeast to leaven rather than commercial yeast. You can make naturally fermented bread with flour, water, and salt, known for its soft crumb, tangy flavor, and crisp crust.

WHAT IS SOURDOUGH?

Sourdough is a slow-fermented bread made with a live fermented culture called a sourdough starter, which acts as a natural leavening agent. In contrast, most bread requires commercial yeast to rise. Instead, sourdough bread is made with naturally occurring wild yeast and bacteria.

Sourdough is known for its tangy flavor, chewy texture, and crisp, crackly crust. From a health standpoint, it dominates compared to mass-produced bread in your local grocery store. The naturally occurring acids and extended fermentation help to break down the gluten, making it more digestible and easy for the body to absorb. And it tastes amazing!
