Sourdough Bread 101

Have you found yourself wanting to bake bread while you’re quarantining? Christina Cann, owner of Gulf Coast Sourdough, says it’s a real thing. Hundreds of people have asked her for some sourdough starter over the last several weeks. Part of the reason is that so many people are baking bread that there’s been a run on instant yeast at the stores, and it’s hard to find right now. But sourdough uses wild yeast for leavening, and wild yeast are all around us. Christina says eating sourdough bread is like taking a bite of history.You’ll find Christina’s recipe for sourdough bread on our website, thezestpodcast.com. Support for The Zest Podcast comes from  Seitenbacher Brand Natural Foods, like Muesli cereals, oils, oatmeal, energy bars, gluten free fruit gummies for the kids, organic coffee and more.
