What is bread leaven?

Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water that ferments under the influence of time and appropriate temperature. Thus, it becomes a natural agent for loosening and leavening the dough. Wild yeast, lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria grow in the mass, which positively affects the health benefits of the bread.

Advantages

of sourdough bread!

Sourdough bread has a number of health benefits. In addition to its health, it is distinguished by its unique taste. Lactic acid bacteria involved in lactic fermentation have a very beneficial effect on the bacterial flora and have a protective effect. Just like prebiotics, they inhibit digestive system ailments such as indigestion, constipation or diarrhoea. Moreover, bacteria effectively eliminate compounds considered carcinogenic – moulds, nitrites and nitrates. Moreover, they activate the immune system.

However, that’s not all, lactic acid effectively stops the growth of putrefactive bacteria and staphylococci, which has a positive effect on immunity and the shelf life of bread. Baked goods do not spoil as easily as bread baked with yeast, they stay fresh longer and are suitable for consumption.

Due to the extended fermentation process, sourdough bread is rich in a large dose of minerals, such as zinc, iron and magnesium. This is especially important for people who struggle with iron deficiency or are on a meatless diet. In addition, bread also contains B vitamins.

Sourdough bread has a relatively lower glycemic index than regular rye baked goods. Additionally, it has a lower concentration of ghrelin and guarantees a greater and longer feeling of satiety. Sourdough bread is recommended for diabetics and people who want to lose extra weight.
