The Benefits of Sourdough Bread
Sourdough bread is often recognized for its unique fermentation process, which contributes to its nutritional value and digestibility. Unlike bread made with commercial yeast, sourdough undergoes a slow fermentation that helps to break down gluten and release vital nutrients from the grains. This process fosters a symbiotic relationship between yeast and bacteria that enhances flavor and makes the bread easier to chew. Ultimately, these qualities elevate sourdough beyond mere sustenance, connecting bakers to a rich ancestral tradition.
