Sourdough
Sourdough is simple to keep. All it needs is flour and water!  
It is more natural and balanced than bread containing only
'baker's yeast', keeps longer and may have a lower glycemic
index. The sustainable nature of a sourdough starter makes
it extremely economical and it may just become your next
family heirloom!
Sourdough is the ancient and traditional way of making all forms of bread.
Sourdough is the simple process of capturing the local wild yeast and bacteria and
harnessing their fermenting ability to raise flat dough into bread. Ancient
hieroglyphics depict Egyptians making sourdough over 5,000 years ago. Did you
know sourdough can be made mild and sweet, not just sour and tangy? To learn

Authentic sourdough can only be made by live starter, not
from any kind of packet or powder. Sourdough available at
the stores are usually poor imitations. If you are lucky to find
a local bakery that keeps a live starter, you may know the
truly delicious and wide variety of flavors and beautiful crust
sourdough can offer (though expensive!). Different yeast
and bacteria are unique to different localities, making it
worthwhile to try different starters from all around the world.
