Sourdough Starter

Sourdough Starter

Everyday

Sourdough starter is a live fermented culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria used to naturally leaven bread. This traditional mixture of flour and water develops complex tangy flavors through fermentation while breaking down gluten, enhancing digestibility compared to commercial yeast-based breads. Though not heat-stable for probiotics, active starters require regular feeding with fresh flour to maintain their rising power and microbial balance.
