Here at Essential Baking, we like to keep it natural. Using natural starters give our sourdough breads better flavor and texture, as well as bonus nutritional benefits that come with using natural starters and leavening πŸ‘‡

πŸ₯– Sourdough is easier to digest and more nutritious than standard bread.
πŸ₯– The lactic acids in sourdough make vitamins and minerals more available by neutralizing phytates.
πŸ₯– The fermentation process removes phytic acid, increasing nutrient absorption.
πŸ₯– Sourdough has a lower glycemic index, preventing blood sugar spikes.
πŸ₯– Fermentation breaks down gluten, making it easier to digest and less likely to cause food intolerances.
