Homemade Sourdough Bread - There Must Be Something in the Air
POSTED May 9, 10:38 AM
Have you ever wondered how people made bread before the days of packaged yeast? No? Well, I'm going to tell you anyway! I'll be damned if I'm going to let a good 15 minutes of research on Wikipedia go to waste. In all seriousness, it is a fascinating process, and as a citizen of San Francisco, one I've enjoyed for decades.

There's wild yeast in the air all around you, as well as in that bag of bread flour in your cupboard. To make a batch of sourdough from scratch, you simply need to capture this wild yeast, and provide a medium for it to grow. While this video recipe is relatively short, it does show you all the steps involved for making this incredibly delicious bread. For more information, and a transcript, click the link under the video. Enjoy!
