What is sourdough bread?
Sourdough bread is a slow-fermented bread that is naturally leavened with a sourdough starter. Sourdough starter is a live fermented culture made with flour and water. The sourdough starter is used to make the bread rise. Not only makes it the bread rise, it also breaks down the gluten which makes the bread more digestible.
Sourdough bread is known for its sour flavor and a thick, chewy crust. So to make this sourdough bread you will need an active sourdough starter. You can make your own sourdough starter at home by mixing flour and water together in a jar. Wild yeast and bacteria will form and keep multiplying. By feeding it regularly, and discarding some old sourdough starter, the starter becomes stronger and can eventually be used to bake sourdough bread. The process of making a new sourdough starter from scratch takes between 7-14 days. If you do not have the time to make your own sourdough starter you might be able to buy it at some bakeries.
