Bread
Sourdough starter is a leavening culture matured by mixing flour and water with natural wild yeast and lactic bacteria. It is kept alive by regular feeding and used to leaven bread instead of commercial yeast. It gives bread a slightly tangy flavor and long keeping quality.
Where It's Used
“Before adding the sourdough starter to the dough, feed it with flour and water to activate it.”
