Ever wondered what makes sourdough so special compared to regular yeast bread? Here’s why your starter is a superstar: ✅ Better Flavor: Wild yeast and bacteria create that complex, tangy taste you just can’t get from store-bought yeast. ✅ Easier to Digest: Long fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making sourdough gentler on your tummy. ✅ Healthier: Naturally fermented bread is packed with nutrients and beneficial microbes for your gut health. ✅ No Additives: Pure flour, water, and salt -- nothing else. Real bread the old-school way. ✅ Keeps Longer: Thanks to natural acids, sourdough stays fresh without preservatives! Once you go sourdough, it’s hard to go back. 😍What’s your favorite thing about sourdough? Drop it in the comments! By the way, our starter marathon starts tomorrow, so stay tuned!
