Did you know that all bread used to be sourdough? It's the truth. THEY used the leaven that I use! The same stuff! This was all before the industrial revolution, when people figured out that yeast alone will do the job, but the taste isn't as good. The Egyptians knew what they were doing, man.
I took my bread into school today, and my class really enjoyed it, which is always a nice feeling. Maybe if you leave me a comment, I'll bake you a loaf!
Happy Snacking,

Hey Ivy,
ReplyDeleteTHe bread you made for us in class was really good. I have not made bread making or finding a hobby as you have, but i am a huge fan of eating bread everywhere i go. You can catch me buying a baguette to eat it whole, plain, with butter or cheese. I would be interested in hearing about the difference between the sourdough egyptian method and the other yeast method. You talked a little bit about how the leaven or yeast does affect the taste. Tell me more! Also about the process and the differences in baking these two ways. Look forward to your reply
THANKS

Sure thing! I'll make a post on sourdough vs. Yeast bread.
ReplyDeleteYeah, baguette has a way of disappearing. I love eating it with jam or honey!
