I remember it like yesterday. We were having breakfast in a hotel and there was a nice slice of bread. It was a little bit darker than usual, but otherwise it looked good. After eating a bite I knew enough. This was not normal bread, but sourdough bread. In this new knowledge base article I’m going to talk about what you can make with Sourdough Starter.
What is Sourdough Starter
Everyone knows Sourdough bread. It’s made by the fermentation of dough. The sour taste of the bread is produced by naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. The lactic acid gives the sour taste.
But then the big question is: what is Sourdough Starter? This is the starting product used to make sourdough bread. You can make this by combining flour and water. This will ferment and bacteria will develop. As mentioned above, the bacteria that are developed give the sour taste. This is also where the name of the bread comes from. This may sound strange but you should also feed your sourdough starter. You are dealing with microorganisms that are alive. They need food to keep them alive. This consists of a combination of flour and water. You add this once a week. After feeding you can simply keep it in the refrigerator again.
