Sourdough baking is an ancient art form that has been used for centuries to create delicious, nutritious bread. Sourdough bread is made using a natural leavening agent called sourdough starter, which is a mixture of flour and water that is fermented by wild yeast and bacteria. This process gives sourdough bread its characteristic sour flavor and chewy texture.
