my theory
of Sourdough Bread
At the core of crafting top-notch artisan sourdough lies an unhurried process, utilizing wholesome, primarily local ingredients devoid of any additives or preservatives. The dough is lovingly prepared by hand during the wee hours of each morning, and in the "old school" fashion, it is granted ample time to rest and undergo a slow fermentation process.
Not only does this extended fermentation time allow the flavors in the dough to naturally develop, but it also yields bread that is truly beneficial for your health. The gradual rise provides sufficient opportunity for the dough's enzymes to break down complex carbohydrates and create lactic acid, resulting in bread that is not only easier to digest but also packed with goodness.
Moreover, the prolonged fermentation process brings forth acetic acid, which not only contributes to the bread's delightful flavor but also acts as a natural preservative. No need for any artificial ingredients here! It's a true pleasure to savor the wonderful taste while knowing that it's also good for you!
