Sourdough
Sourdough is a type of bread made from a simple mixture of flour and water, along with naturally occurring yeasts and bacteria. These microorganisms give sourdough its distinctive tangy flavour and chewy texture. It is a traditional method of bread-making that has been used for centuries.
To make sourdough, flour and water are mixed together and left to ferment for a period of time, allowing wild yeasts and lactobacilli bacteria to develop. This fermentation process gives sourdough its unique taste and texture. The dough is then kneaded and baked to create a crusty, flavoursome loaf of bread.
Sourdough is a popular ingredient in various baked goods like bread, pizza dough, and pancakes. It is prized for its natural taste and the complexity it adds to recipes. Sourdough's presence on food labels indicates a more artisanal or traditional approach to baking, as well as potentially offering a longer shelf life due to the fermentation process.
