What is Sourdough and How Is It Used in Bread?
Sourdough is a natural leavening agent made from just flour and water. Also known as levain, masa madre, lievito naturale, or Sauerteig, it’s the heart of traditional breadmaking. The micro-organisms in sourdough ferment the flour’s starches and minerals, creating gas that helps the dough rise and organic compounds that give bread its signature flavor and texture.
Why Sourdough Is More Than Just a Trend?
Originating in ancient Egypt, sourdough has been passed down through generations for thousands of years. It was the primary method of leavening bread until the Middle Ages, and today, it’s making a flavorful comeback.
