Freshly baked bread is a wonderful smell. What could be more delicious than freshly baked bread loaf? It’s hard to imagine anything better.

The guys behind Sourdough September aren’t able to!

This month is the best time to celebrate sourdough. People are encouraged to start their own starter to be able make bread.

This is a great way for anyone to try baking, even if they have never done it before. It may also be possible to find great local events that allow you to display your bread-making skills and get to sample it from the pros.

Sourdough bread dates back to 1500 BC. It was actually the only type of “leavened bread” that was available in those days, before commercial yeast was invented a few hundred year ago.

Sourdough bread contains live cultures (unlike dry yeast) and is made from a starter that has been kept from a previous batch. It then ferments. It must be fed with flour and water every week. Once it has grown, it can be left at room temperature until ready for use in another loaf.

Sourdough bread was a staple of the San Francisco area during the Gold Rush of California in 1849. It was popular among miners because it was durable.

Since 2013, every September has been called Sourdough September. Even though it may have only been around for a few years, its popularity has grown over the years.

The Real Bread Campaign was inspired to name September Sourdough month. They are trying spread bread knowledge. They aim to make it less common for households to rely on processed breads from factories (i.e. filled with preservatives) at their local supermarket.

Real Bread is a movement that promotes the love of sourdough and aims to increase bread baking. They also want to encourage others to appreciate the health benefits of locally baked loaves, which are much healthier than those purchased at the supermarket.
