What’s the difference between store-bought bread and sourdough? 🍞
Most store-bought bread is made with commercial yeast and designed for speed, softness, and a long shelf life. Many loaves are mixed, proofed, and baked within just a few hours.
Traditional sourdough is different.
It’s naturally fermented using a live starter made from flour and water, then slowly fermented over many hours — sometimes more than 24.
That slower process helps create:
• A deeper, richer flavor
• A chewier texture and crisp crust
• Better natural keeping qualities
• Simple ingredients without unnecessary additives
Real sourdough takes time, patience, and craftsmanship — and you can taste the difference. ✨
