What is Sourdough Bread?

When I eat my sourdough bread, I close my eyes tasting it fully. I can’t help myself. It’s pure bliss. It tastes so right. It feels so right. This is sourdough bread.

That first bite of a fresh sourdough bread is something one never forgets. In fact, it is something you cherish, like a childhood memory, except that you can experience it over and over again.

Certainly, sourdough’s taste is unforgettable, but there’s more to it than just the taste.

One of the oldest sourdough breads dates from 3700 BC in Switzerland, but the origin of sourdough fermentation can be found in ancient Egypt. However, the use of sourdough starter or “baker’s yeast”, which is a naturally fermented leaven, dates back to less than 150 years in Europe.

Long fermentation is where the “magic” is and where the health benefits come from. In the same way yogurt’s active cultures offer digestive benefits, using sourdough as a leavening agent introduces beneficial bacteria into wheat. The benefits of sourdough include making bread easier to digest and strengthening one’s ability to break down gluten.

I have heard from my customers, who have celiac disease or are gluten-sensitive, that they are just ecstatic about eating my sourdough bread and not feeling bloated or having any bad reactions. Similar experience was also shared by my customers with diabetes as the sourdough bread has a much lower glycemic index which translates into a lower impact on blood sugar and insulin levels.

All these benefits can come only from an authentic sourdough bread that goes through long fermentation with just flour, water and salt — you will not find them in any retail store.

There are many reasons why sourdough has been around since ancient Egypt, and now, you know what they are. So, why not experience this truly unique, healthy and delicious bread today?

I think you will be in for a great treat. I promise you!
