Sourdough bread.. ?

I don't like it either and I bake loads and love all sorts of food! If there is any bit of a tang off it at all that's me out, some of them are very mild and probably not a really proper sourdough at all, those I can eat 😊

Love sourdough, but like others, I find most isn't actually sour at all.

The sourdough I get in Raheny bakery is the nicest bread I've probably ever had anywhere. Love the stuff.

I absolutely love it but it's hard to find a good one. Has to be really airy, chewy, and tangy for me.

Yeah, but would anyone be brave enough to stand behind you 🤔🤔😂😂

Agreed, all bread and little toppings, the bread just dominates and overpowers the sandwich, you barely get to taste what's in between the bread as a result.

As others said kimchi/sauerkraut or kombucha are supposed to have gut health benefits. Sourdough is mostly flour with a bit of sourdough starter used in place of yeast. Well there is yeast in it but it's naturally grown at home. So I suppose there may be some mild benefits. Yer still plowing into a loaf of baked flour though and unlike kimchi/sauerkraut/kombucha does any of the good gut fermented stuff survive the baking process?

"Real" Sourdough Bread is not really a viable commercial product. So when you buy it, it is already usually substandard, many corners are cut for profit. This is because the process of producing a good loaf is so labour intensive and logistically disproportionate, it is a manufacturing nightmare and cant be refinded to compete financially with commercial sliced pan :)

yeast (a big difference!). Commercial bread is produced using a manufactured yeast which has a chemical tain to the flavor(subjective). Real sourdough yeast is made from flour, water and the natural yeasts attracted from the environment and has its "life span" which is regulated with percision by the baker for optimum performance(a cornerstone of sourdough baking).

artisan, home and hobby producers of sourdough are doing it properly and this is a pleasure of life.
