Starting from Scratch!
Hello everyone, and welcome to my sourdough starter blog! You may be curious about what exactly a sourdough is and how a starter is created. Before I share my own sourdough starters and observations with you, I would like to provide a brief introduction and overview of the experiment. You may want to try this at home one day! Sourdough : Sourdough is a type of bread that results from a long fermentation of dough. This process uses naturally occurring bacteria and yeast, which creates the sour taste. Starter : A sourdough starter begins as a mixture of flour and water that must be fed in order to grow. These starters can eventually be made into sourdough. Microbes : There are many microbes, or microorganisms, that have the ability to cause fermentation. Sourdough starters often contain lactic acid bacteria from the Lactobacillus genus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae , which is most commonly known as baker's yeast. https://wholelifestylenutrition.com/recipes/sourdoug...
