Baking Sourdough Bread Involves Fermenting The Dough Using Wild Lactobacillaceae And Yeasts

One of my favourite kinds of bread is Sourdough. Also, compared to regular bread, sourdough bread is less likely to cause a blood sugar increase, and many of my customers find it to be simpler to digest. According to experts, it was first used to leaven bread in ancient Egypt approximately 1500 B.C. and stayed in use until baker's yeast took its place a few hundred years later. There are two types of breads: leavened and unleavened. Dough for leavened breads rises while the loaf is being made. This results from the gas that is generated as the dough's grain starts to ferment.


Commercial baker's yeast is typically used in leavened breads to help the dough rise. Unleavened breads, such as flatbreads like tortillas and roti, do not rise, on the other hand. A leavened bread is Sourdough. But, "wild yeast" and lactic acid bacteria that are found naturally in flour leaven the bread instead of needing baker's yeast. Because wild yeast is more acid-resistant than baker's yeast, it can collaborate with lactic acid bacteria to help the dough rise. 


Making sourdough bread requires a bit more time and effort than making conventional bread, as it involves creating and maintaining a starter, which can take several days to develop. However, the process is relatively simple, and with a bit of practice, anyone can learn to make delicious sourdough bread at home.


To make a Sourdough starter, you will need to mix together equal parts of flour and water in a jar or other container. You can use any type of flour, but rye or whole wheat flour is often recommended as they contain more natural yeasts and bacteria. Once you have mixed the flour and water together, cover the jar with a cloth or lid that allows air to circulate, and leave it in a warm place for several days.
