Welcome to Your Sourdough Start!

Hi, my name is Martha Levie and I am here to help you on your way to achieving the perfect sourdough loaf every time you bake. And this despite what you may have heard, or even experienced with sourdough baking, this will be one of the easiest home-kitchen experiences of your life.

Most people think of sourdough bread as a yummy gourmet food. Something you might pick-up if you go to San Francisco. But I want to introduce you to the idea that sourdough bread is magic for baking in your own kitchen.

Talk about becoming the hero of your kitchen. Just wait until the aroma of fresh bread fills your home and family members taste the delectable flavor of real sourdough bread fresh from the oven. This all the while knowing that you have given them something more than flavor, but the whole goodness and nutrition real wheat has to offer. And I promise to be your guide, ensuring success with every loaf you bake.

With just three perfect ingredients, flour, water, and salt you will never worry about empty grocery shelves again. You will immediately start saving money for your family food budget. And you will never want to go back to those commercial breads that lack nutrients and taste.

Best of all this is a tradition you can begin by making bread together in your own kitchen with your family. The total time commitment is just ten minutes to mix and fold the dough and then some patience to wait eight hours for your starter to do it magic. When it is ready will have gourmet quality bread at home every day you want it.

You know the real magic in sourdough bread is the starter. This is a collection of lactobacilli (good bacteria) and wild yeast that is in the air everywhere that thrive when water and flour are mixed.

Together these good bacteria work with the wild yeast in your sourdough start to produce acidic acid and lactic acid that get rid of all of the irritants are found in wheat. They break down the gluten and make the bread more digestible by dissolving phytic acid.

After eating sourdough and its in your gut, these acids actually help you to digest what else you have eaten. They slow down digestion so that what you’re eating is lower on the glycemic index.

Slower digestions also helps you absorb all the nutrients from everything else that you’re eating at the same time that you eat sourdough bread. So it’s really quite amazing and it unlocks the nutrition in the wheat.

Wheat is very nutritious, but unless we ferment it or sprout it, you’re not able to unlock that nutrition. Then you are dealing with a bunch of irritants, which is why so many people have issues with gluten in wheat. But when you ferment wheat as you make sourdough bread, you get rid of all of those irritants and you unlock the awesome nutrition in wheat.

Also, when you make this bread in your own home, you’re doing it for a much cheaper cost. It’s about 50¢ a loaf when you make it yourself. So you are being self-sufficient in making it and you’re teaching your children how to not only make something from scratch but to value their health enough to make the effort to do something well and do something right. And they’ll have this knowledge and skill with them always.

Another thing you will like is that you will not be as dependent on grocery stores. You know, as we’ve seen in the last few weeks; how frail our supply chain can be, how difficult it can be at times to get things at the grocery store.

Bread is the staple of life. It is what we need. It packs in the calories and the nutrients. If you know how to make it the right way, it tastes unbelievable. And you’ll get a whole bunch of nutrients from it. It doesn’t cost very much money and you’re teaching your children how to do it and you’re bonding together, that’s a win-win.
