Sourdough
Sourdough is the ancient and traditional way of making all forms of bread. Sourdough is the simple
process of capturing the local wild yeast and bacteria and harnessing their fermenting ability to raise
flat dough into bread. Ancient hieroglyphics depict Egyptians making sourdough over 5,000 years
ago. Did you know sourdough can be made mild and sweet, not just sour and tangy? To learn more

Authentic sourdough can only be made by live starter, not from any
kind of packet or powder. Sourdough available at the stores are
usually poor imitations. If you are lucky to find a local bakery that
keeps a live starter, you may know the truly delicious and wide variety
of flavors and beautiful crust sourdough can offer (though expensive!).
Different yeast and bacteria are unique to different localities, making
it worthwhile to try different starters from all around the world.
Sourdough is simple to keep. All it needs is flour and water! It is
more natural and balanced than bread containing only 'baker's
yeast', keeps longer and may have a lower glycemic index. The
sustainable nature of a sourdough starter makes it extremely
economical and it may just become your next family heirloom!
