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
For the Garlic Knots:
- 113g active organic sourdough starter, at its peak (about 1/2 cup)
- 600g organic bread or all-purpose flour (about 4 cups)
- 350g warm, filtered water (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
- Pizza toppings of choice
How To Make It
- The morning of pizza night, add the ingredients to a stand mixer. Mix the dough on medium speed with a dough hook until smooth & fully incorporated (about 5-7 min).
- Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Rest at room temperature for 8 hours. If you choose to make pizza the same day, continue to next steps. If not, store in the fridge or freezer until ready to use. See notes below on this.
- Preheat oven to 475. Divide the dough into 4 equal sections.
- Roll out each section on a lightly floured surface. Place each pizza on either a pizza pan, pizza stone, cast iron, or whatever you decide to use.
- Add sauce & your favorite toppings. Bake for 13 minutes and then broil for a few additional minutes for a nice golden crust (3-4 minutes). Enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftover cooked pizzas in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They are best when reheated in the oven to stay crispy. I put them in the oven at 350 for 10 ish minutes to do this,
Can I Prepare the Dough & Make the Pizzas Later?
Absolutely! That is one reason why I love this recipe so much. After the dough has risen, you can store it covered tightly in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you plan on using it even later down the road, you can freeze it for up to 3 months after the dough has risen all the way.
