Sourdough Bread Making Workshops
Health Benefits of Sourdough Bread
Easier to Digest
The long fermentation process in sourdough breaks down gluten and other proteins, making it easier to digest compared to regular bread—great for people with mild gluten sensitivities.
Rich in Probiotics
While baking kills most live cultures, the fermentation creates prebiotics that feed healthy gut bacteria, supporting better digestion and gut health.
Lower Glycemic Index
Sourdough has a lower glycemic index (GI) than most breads, which means it can help prevent blood sugar spikes and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
More Nutrient Absorption
The natural acids in sourdough help break down phytates in flour, making it easier for your body to absorb key minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron.
Boosts Immune Health
The fermentation process creates beneficial organic acids and improves the availability of antioxidants, which can boost immune function.
Reduced Bloating
Many people who experience bloating with commercial bread find sourdough easier to tolerate, as the natural fermentation breaks down complex carbohydrates that can cause gas.
Good for Weight Management
Sourdough’s higher fiber content and ability to regulate blood sugar levels contribute to better appetite control, which can support healthy weight management.
No Additives
Artisan sourdough bread is typically made with just three ingredients—flour, water, and salt—avoiding preservatives and additives found in commercial bread.
