What is the science behind sourdough? How are ‘starters’ usually so many years old?
In: Other
Sourdough is produced from yeast, a specialized member of the fungus family. Yeast is a living thing, and you can feed it to make it multiply. Over the years, if you like the bread it makes, you carefully nurture the “pet” yeast you have so that you can pinch of a chunk and make yummy bread whenever you want.
