Sourdough bread is a type of bread that is made by a long fermentation of dough. The process of making the bread produces a slightly sour taste (due to lactic acid in the dough), and this is why it is called sourdough.

Sourdough bread is certainly something you can consider adding to your diet, replacing highly processed white breads you might normally eat. Sourdough is easier to digest because the preparation of the bread pre-digests starch. The process also breaks down gluten, which makes the bread good for people who are gluten intolerant. The bread is also full of vital minerals such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and copper.

This is not your traditional sandwich bread but can have it with butter, jam or any spread of your choice. It is preferable that the bread is sliced from the middle, and then close it so that the moisture remains intact.
