Why You Should Be Eating Sourdough
Easy to Digest
The bacteria-yeast composition will start to breakdown the starches found in the grains before it even reaches your stomach!! Most of the work is done before you consume, making it much easier on your gut.
Lower Glycemic Index
Sourdough is fermented in a way that depletes bad starches within it. Your blood sugar won’t rise drastically upon eating it.
Better for Gluten Sensitivity
The longer fermentation time for sourdough bread means that much of the protein gluten is broken down into amino acids before you consume it.
Provides Healthy Bacteria
Sourdough is fermented in a way that fosters more beneficial bacteria in the bread and in your body when you eat it.
Made with 2 Simple Ingredients
Real sourdough starter contains only 2 ingredients: flour & water, and salt.
Macros & Nutrients
Sourdough is packed with nutrients, healthy carbs, protein, fiber, iron and vitamins like potassium, folate & vitamin B. It is not crazy high in calories either.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
- 1/4 cup organic olive oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 2/3 cup organic all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
How To Make Them
- Combine the sourdough discard, oil, and water with a stand mixer or by hand. Add in the flour and sea salt. Continue to mix until a dough forms. Knead with your hands a few times and then allow to rest for 30 minutes.
- Form eight evenly sized pieces of dough. Roll each one out into a tortilla shape.
- Cook on a pan over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You know they are ready to flip when you see bubbles forming.
