About Sourdough

Sourdough is dough or a baked bread product made using a sourdough fermentation process. The label alone does not distinguish starter, unbaked dough, or finished bread, nor does it establish the grain or recipe.

In finished bread, it is commonly encountered as a loaf or sliced bread, with a risen, porous interior and a flavour that can range from mildly tangy to distinctly sour. Texture, crust, and acidity vary with the particular product.
