Beginner Sourdough Bread

Cultural Context

Sourdough bread has ancient origins, tracing back thousands of years to early civilizations in the Middle East. It became a staple in many cultures due to its unique flavor and natural leavening process. Traditionally, sourdough was made using wild yeast and bacteria from the environment, giving it a distinctive tang. In modern times, sourdough has experienced a resurgence, especially during the pandemic, as home bakers sought comforting, artisanal bread-making experiences. Today, it's enjoyed worldwide, with variations reflecting local ingredients and techniques.
