So you may be wondering, what is sourdough?
For a quick summary, it is bread made without commercial yeast that is slowly fermented. Instead of yeast, it is made with a live fermented culture called the sourdough starter, which is what makes the bread rise.
The popularity of sourdough bread continues to grow because it's a healthier alternative to supermarket loaves, and it's easy for the body to digest. Plus, it tastes delicious!
Before you can make a sourdough loaf or other sourdough-based foods, you will need to pre-ferment a mixture of flour and water, also known as the sourdough starter.
What is a sourdough starter?
The sourdough starter is a live culture, once combined, the starter will begin to ferment, cultivating the naturally occurring wild yeasts and bacteria present within the flour.
