Sourdough bread is a beloved artisan bread known for its tangy flavor and chewy texture, originating from ancient Egyptian cuisine and perfected by European bakers. Made through a natural fermentation process, the dough consists of just flour, water, salt, and a starter culture of wild yeast and lactobacillus bacteria. This process creates a unique depth of flavor and a slightly crisp crust. Nutritionally, sourdough bread provides a boost of gut-friendly probiotics due to its fermentation and is often easier to digest than conventional breads. It has a moderate glycemic index and is a good source of complex carbohydrates. However, it can be high in sodium depending on the recipe and may not suit those with gluten sensitivities. A sourdough slice is versatile, making it a nutritious base for sandwiches, toasts, or as a simple side to soups and salads.
