I don’t know about you, but the creation of sourdough bread has always been on my top 10 things to learn to master. I think we can all agree that sourdough bread is one of the most delicious alchemized creations to bless this planet! In my opinion, sourdough is unparalleled in flavor, it surpasses all other bread varieties. Although some may claim that sourdough bread is an acquired taste, its unique fermentation process sets it apart from other breads.
According to the Encyclopedia of Food Microbiology, one of the oldest sourdoughs excavated in Switzerland dates back to 3700 BCE. Yet its roots likely trace back to the agricultural revolutions of ancient Egypt and the Fertile Crescent. Sourdough’s rise mirrors the power of fermentation—a transformation through patience and care.
The incredible @sourdoughmama created this unique bread using our butterfly pea powder for an added BLUE swirl, accompanied by Blue Lotus for and added nervous system toning ally. Like many of you know, we love sipping that blue lotus tea as we create and alchemize to enhance the fertility of the flow state!
If you've never done sourdough bread, this is your chance to give this a try! Its such an incredible skill to cultivate. This is an easy process that allows beginner to truly crack the code and make magic! Enjoy everyone!
