Sourdough
Sourdough bread, real bread!
With just three ingredients you can create the best sourdough bread you will have ever tasted.
By taking flour, salt and water, you can create beautiful sourdough bread, so it’s easier than you think.
I’m a self taught real bread baker and have put this site together to share what I’ve learnt. I bake bread a couple of times a week, because that’s what works for me, therefore I’ve put this guide together based on my baking needs. It’s easy to follow and adapt to your own baking needs.
Sourdough bread is made by the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. As a result, the bread has a mildly sour taste not present in most breads made with baker’s yeast, and therefore better inherent keeping qualities than other breads due to the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli.
I hope you find this website helpful and if there’s something specific you’d like to know, just get in touch.
