Fermented bread recipes using natural starter for better digestion.
Sourdough baking represents a traditional fermentation process that transforms ordinary flour into digestible, nutrient-rich bread and baked goods. The natural fermentation process breaks down gluten proteins and phytic acid, making nutrients more bioavailable and easier for your body to absorb. Rich in beneficial bacteria and wild yeast, sourdough offers prebiotics and probiotics that support gut health, while its lower glycemic index helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. These recipes showcase the art of slow fermentation, resulting in breads and baked goods that not only taste better but are also more nutritious than their conventional counterparts.

Can people with gluten sensitivity eat sourdough?
While not gluten-free, many people with mild gluten sensitivity can tolerate sourdough better because the fermentation process partially breaks down gluten proteins, making it easier to digest.
What are the gut health benefits of sourdough?
Sourdough contains prebiotics and probiotics from fermentation, which support beneficial gut bacteria, improve digestion, and enhance nutrient absorption in the body.
