Fresh sourdough bread is a classic staple rooted in ancient baking traditions, originating from Egypt and perfected across various cultures, including Europe and the United States. Made using just flour, water, and salt, its signature tangy flavor comes from the natural fermentation process involving wild yeast and beneficial bacteria. Unlike most breads, sourdough requires no commercial yeast, resulting in a loaf that's easier to digest and lower on the glycemic index, which can help support blood sugar stability. It's also a source of nutrients like iron, selenium, and B vitamins. However, like all bread, sourdough is calorie-dense and contains carbs, so moderation is key for those monitoring calorie or carb intake. Pairing it with nutrient-rich toppings can make it part of a balanced meal.
