Homemade sourdough bread is a nutritious, artisanal bread made using natural fermentation. It typically consists of flour, water, salt, and a fermented sourdough starter, which acts as a natural leavening agent. Originating from ancient Egyptian and European baking traditions, sourdough has become a staple in global cuisine, prized for its tangy flavor and chewy texture. The fermentation process enhances digestibility by breaking down gluten and increasing beneficial gut bacteria. This bread is rich in nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, while also having a lower glycemic index compared to commercial breads. However, it is still a source of carbohydrates and sodium, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Free from preservatives and artificial additives, homemade sourdough bread offers a wholesome, satisfying addition to meals, catering to both food enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals alike.
