At Sacred Crumb & Loaf, artisan baking goes beyond a method - it’s a tradition rooted in time, patience, and care, where every loaf is baked with love. True sourdough is naturally leavened through a slow fermentation process using only flour, water, and salt. This time-honoured approach not only creates exceptional flavour and texture in our fresh baked goods but also offers meaningful benefits for digestion and overall well-being, starting with a robust Starter.
The long fermentation in artisan baking allows natural bacteria and wild yeast to begin breaking down gluten and starches in sourdough, making this beloved bread gentler on the digestive system for many people. This process is truly a labor of love, resulting in fresh baked goods that are easier to enjoy.
Sourdough fermentation, a hallmark of artisan baking, produces beneficial lactic acid bacteria that help create a more balanced and supportive environment for digestion, making it a fantastic choice among fresh baked goods. When baked with love, sourdough starter enhances both flavor and health benefits.
Fermentation in artisan baking reduces phytic acid - a compound that can inhibit mineral absorption - allowing your body to more easily absorb essential nutrients like iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. This process is particularly important for those who enjoy fresh baked goods, such as sourdough, made with love using a carefully nurtured Starter.
Sourdough bread, often a staple in artisan baking, typically causes a slower rise in blood sugar compared to conventional breads. This characteristic of sourdough, made with a loving touch from a carefully nurtured Starter, provides more sustained energy and balance, making it a favorite among those who appreciate fresh baked goods.
The natural acids developed during fermentation in artisan baking help preserve the bread, allowing it to stay fresh longer without the need for additives or preservatives, just like the sourdough made with love using a homemade Starter for delicious fresh baked goods.
