Timely post, since I just perfected a super-easy sourdough wheat sandwich bread recipe. And it even uses 2/3 of the flour in the sponge, with a full 5-hour rise after the rest of the flour is added. It’s easier than my commercially-yeasted bread, and not super-sour. Will post recipe soon!

Ali,
Sounds like a valid theory, for sure! Also, some of the healthiest things were just the only way to do it – before yeast was able to be packaged, you had to capture it if you wanted bread to rise. The first incidence of capturing yeast certainly happened on accident, too. Imagine what people thought then their flour and water started bubbling! I just think God likes to help us be healthy, if we would just go with what naturally works.

Thanks for the thought! Katie

I’ve been hearing about sourdough starters but hadn’t taken the time to read up on it. I had no idea how advantageous it was to use for bread.

Do you think our ancestors were able to figure out what was the most nutritious methods for us because they could read their bodies more easily? It seems likely, its so hard these days for people to realize the harm their doing to their bodies because they damage it so frequently.

Yes, I have had 100% whole wheat sourdough. We have a lady at church who makes all of her breads from scratch. Since I don’t have equipment to make it and my hands can’t handle the kneading I’ve been thinking about having her make me some. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Deb,
Sounds like sourdough *should* be the best bread for a diabetic to eat, too! Have you ever had 100% whole wheat srdo? Katie

I made sourdough starter and I’ve tried bread twice. Both times the bread wasn’t even eligible for hockey puck usage. GAH! Pancakes were ok but tasted terrible after freezing. I’m going to stick with it but failed cooking projects just kill me.
