Why the Sourdough Craze?

You’ve probably seen it: rustic, golden loaves all over Instagram. But sourdough isn’t just a trend. It’s a revolution. From the rise of gluten intolerance to the desire for homemade, healthy bread, more and more people are turning to sourdough as both a delicious and therapeutic skill.

A Rise in Home Baking

Since the pandemic, home baking has skyrocketed. But let’s be honest—most of us start off totally clueless. Flour everywhere. Failed loaves. Frustration. It’s real.

The Gluten-Free Confusion

Then comes the gluten dilemma. You’re told to avoid it—but what if you could have bread without the belly aches? Enter: fermentation.

Enter Sourdough—Ancient, Fermented, Functional

Sourdough bread, made the traditional way, breaks down gluten, reduces anti-nutrients, and boosts digestibility. It’s not just food. It’s fermentation magic.
