About Wheat sourdough
Wheat sourdough is a fermented mixture of wheat flour and water maintained as a starter for leavening and flavouring dough. It may be used directly in breadmaking or as a portion of a dough, and its proportions and fermentation history vary among preparations. The term describes a fermented wheat mixture, not a single standardized recipe.
It is typically a moist, thick paste with a tangy, wheaty aroma and flavour; texture may range from pourable to stiff. It can be sold fresh or maintained as a starter, and may be active or require refreshing. Nutrition comparisons depend on its flour and water proportions, fermentation, and whether values refer to the starter or baked food.
