What is a sourdough starter?
Sourdough is a naturally leavened or fermented bread that does not contain any additives or use any yeast to rise. Instead sourdough uses a starter culture which makes it rise and gives it a sour taste.
A sourdough starter is a wild ferment of water and flour which contains yeast and good bacteria.
Sourdough starters can be used for much more than just bread. Some of our favorites are scones, waffles, crumpets and crackers!
