Home-made sourdough bread is a time-honored bread made from simple ingredients: flour, water, and salt, leavened naturally with a fermented starter instead of commercial yeast. Originating from ancient Egyptian cuisine over 4,000 years ago and cherished globally, sourdough offers a tangy flavor and chewy texture beloved by many cultures. Its long fermentation process enhances digestibility by breaking down gluten and phytates, potentially improving nutrient absorption. Sourdough bread is rich in complex carbohydrates, offers some protein, and contains beneficial bacteria that promote gut health. However, its nutritional profile depends on the type of flour used; whole-grain versions provide more fiber and vitamins than white flour varieties. Enjoy it in moderation, as its calorie and carbohydrate content can add up quickly. Homemade sourdough, free from additives and preservatives, is a wholesome choice for those seeking a natural, flavorful bread rooted in tradition.
