List of sourdough breads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of sourdough breads. Sourdough is prepared through the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. The lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli imbues it a more sour taste, as well as extending its shelf life compared to other breads.[lower-alpha 1][2][3] Sourdough baking has a devoted community today. Many devotees share starters and tips via the Internet,[4] and hobbyists often proudly share their work on social media.[5][6]
