Sourdough bread is a naturally fermented bread made from a simple mixture of flour, water, and salt, combined with an active starter.
This starter, created from natural microorganisms in the flour and environment, replaces commercial yeast, giving the bread a complex and slightly tangy flavor.
Through slow, controlled fermentation, sourdough bread develops a light and airy crumb with irregular holes and a thick, golden, crispy crust.
Appreciated for its taste and improved digestibility, it embodies an artisanal tradition that celebrates patience, precision, and harmony between simple ingredients and ancient techniques.
