Gut Health & Gluten

Sourdough bread has many health benefits, but first an foremost, it acts as a prebiotic, which feeds the good gut bacteria in your body to maintain healthy digestive and immune systems. Because the sourdough starter described below contains all the wild yeast needed to rise the bread, there is no commercial yeast in any of my breads. In fact, there are only 3 ingredients in my basic country sourdough loaf, and that means no preservatives whatsoever. 

Sourdough is created using a sourdough starter, which is a carefully controlled SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria & yeast). A starter is created by combining flour and water, then allowing it to ferment. That culture is kept 'alive' by giving it more flour and water to 'feed' on. If you want to know more, contact me! If you want to try making your own bread, I sell my starter for a nominal amount to get you going, and I will give sourdough lessons for a fee (to be negotiated).
