Do you have time to make a Sourdough Bread ?
We all like to make a little joke here and there, but what is the secret of a Sourdough Bread? Why is it more expensive than others breads? Has this ever crossed your mind? Well, here is the answer.
Sourdough Bread is a very light bread, so much so that I can guarantee you that after a stomach full you won’t feel bloated!! Sourdough bread is made with Strong Flour, Pure Water, Sea Salt and Natural Yeast… that all it takes! Well almost. It also requires a lot of time, sometimes up to 24 hours. This is a delicately constructed bread but there is no way that you can have it straight away. First all all, you must mix all the ingredients in a bowl and gently turn the bread 20 times from the outside in. And then when you finish turning the ingredients you must leave it to rest for 2-3 hours, and then do it again. And again! You can repeat this process up to 4 times. Then leave it to rest overnight. The next day, you must place your dough in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours and only then is it ready to go to the oven. Though these steps can be tiring and it is tempting to try and speed them up, they are all integral to ending up with this beautiful bread on your table.
