The

Benefits of Sourdough

Sourdough bread’s health benefits make it an excellent and healthy choice of bread.

It’s main benefits? Sourdough bread has a low glycaemic index and can help keep your blood sugar and insulin levels lower, which can prevent insulin resistance and diabetes.

Not all bread is equal:

You make Sourdough by only using flour, water and salt, no sugar or sweeteners.

Sourdough bread bakes longer than normal bread, which means it does not require those extra preservatives to ward off mould.

Sourdough bread ferments with the help of lactobacillus cultures, probiotic bacteria that benefit your gut. Unfortunately, the cultures do not survive the baking process but in the process, lactic acid is created. Lactic acid helps decrease the level of phytic acid in bread, which in turn helps other nutrients become more readily available, digestible and absorbable.

The natural acidity of sourdough bread discourages bacteria, so it takes longer than yeasted bread to develop mould. Each loaf baked by The Sourdough Guy is based‘slow’ and given ample time to develop into the tastiest, most digestible bread. Our slow-made sourdough is particularly stable, which means it keeps especially well.

Ideally, you should store your loaf in a cotton bread bag or wrapped in a large tea towel, so that the bread can ‘breathe’. Leave your bread in a relatively cool place so it can maintain normal ambient moisture levels. Do not store your bread in the fridge.

All my bread is made by hand and I pour a great deal of love and care into each loaf. When you take your first slice of my sourdough bread, you will bite into a slice of deliciousness.
