Welcome to the intriguing world of sourdough. There is something special about taking a bubbling starter, flour, water, and salt and creating a crusty light loaf of bread. Many crocks of sourdough starter traveled in covered wagon as settlers settled over the New America and Canada.
Sourdough starter can be used as yeast in any type of baked item. Its use is not limited to just breads. Anything you use flour in can be made with sourdough starter, including pie crust, noodles, etc. Fermenting the dough for 7 hours or longer breaks down the phytic acid in the grain. This makes it so much easier for our bodies to digest.
