Sourdough Facts You
MIGHT NOT KNOW

  • Sourdough is easier to digest
    Sourdough bread contains live wild yeasts that do some of the digesting for you. This often results in less digestive distress and irritability for many who might normally shy away from conventional yeast breads and baked goods.
  • Sourdough rarely tastes sourBecause sourdough bread begins as a fermented food – just like sauerkraut, kefir, pickles, and kombucha, it can often taste a little more sour than typical white bread. Ultimately, this depends on the starter and the process used – but if done correctly, it rarely tastes sour at all!
  • Sourdough is NOT gluten-freeSourdough is not Gluten-Free and isn’t suitable for everyone with Celiac or Crohn’s’s Disease (IBD), or those with severe forms of IBS. Those with milder gluten sensitivities are often able to tolerate sourdough better than conventional yeast breads. So proceed with caution!
  • Sourdough baking does NOT take lots of timeYour actual hands-on time is usually less than 30 minutes using this simple method. It can take anywhere from 8-36 hours to finish a loaf of sourdough bread, but most of that time consists of your dough doing its thing while you do yours.
  • Sourdough bread recipes are NOT complicatedSure, there’s some prep work and maintenance of your starter, but the process of taking your starter from dough to delicious is fairly straightforward. Plus, my students can rely on my proven step-by-step method that makes the whole process incredibly simple.
