What One Year of Baking Sourdough Bread Has Taught Me

Reed Dunn Episode 94

Did you know that sourdough bread is better for your gut health, lower glycemic index, and easier to digest than regular bread? Not to mention that it's made with only 3 simple ingredients - flour, water, and salt.

I've officially been making sourdough bread for one year now (so I'm categorically still very much a newbie), but I quickly progressed from casual baker to making all our family's bread and baked goods using sourdough. In this episode I share about everything from the health benefits of sourdough to how I manage to make all our baked goods from scratch.

If you are interested in getting into sourdough this episode is full of resources and beginner tips. Or maybe you're simply curious about my love story with sourdough and this episode inspires you to make more food the way that God designed it, whether that's sourdough or not!
