Tired of Undigestible,
Bland, Store-Bought Bread?
Modern commercial breads are terrible. They are made with ultra-processed white flour, not properly fermented, loaded with more gluten than we're supposed to eat and filled with all kinds of additives that ruin gut health. I'll teach you how to make real sourdough! Scroll down for more info!
Yes, teach me!What's wrong with the bread I eat now?
Most modern bread is made with ultra processed, bleached, non-organic, chemically-aged, white flour.
All the best parts, the germ and the bran, have been removed. What's left is tasteless and not very good for you.
That crappy flour is then made into what I call synthetic bread - loaded with additional gluten, lab-produced vitamins, chemicals like mono- and diglycerides, lecithins, various forms of hidden MSG, sugars, and sometimes even acids to trick you into thinking you're eating real sourdough. Most importantly, it's risen with instant yeast instead of using a natural starter the way humans have been making bread for 10,000 years.
The natural long fermentation of true sourdough bread actually damages gluten to make wheat more digestible for us. As such, yeast risen breads are much harder on our guts.
If like me, you can no longer digest modern breads, you might not need to go gluten free. Rather, you might just need explore naturally fermented breads made with freshly milled grains.
