2018-04-05 22:49:51 WHY IS IT THAT I CAN DIGEST SOURDOUGH BREAD AND NOT COMMERCIAL BREAD?

21 DECEMBER 2017 BY VANESSA KIMBELL


So why is Sourdough bread healthier than ordinary bread?

One of the most commonly asked questions I get asked is why can I digest Sourdough bread, but not ordinary commercial bread? There are many reasons, and the answer for each person is different.

However research, often linked with IBS, indicates that the principal storage of phosphorus in seeds is found in the bran part of wheat and is called phytic acid can be a cause for digestive discomfort and bloating. In humans, and animals with one stomach, this phytic acid inhibits enzymes which are needed for the breakdown of proteins and starch in the stomach. It is this lack of enzymes which results in digestive difficulties. Ironically, commercially produced whole grain bread, generally perceived as “healthy,” is often the worst thing a person with a wheat intolerance should eat.

Luckily we have an ally, sourdough. The wild yeast and lactobacillus in the leaven neutralise the phytic acid as the bread proves through the acidification of the dough. This prevents the effects of the phytic acid and makes the bread easier for us to digest. These phytic acid molecules bind with other minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, which make these important nutrients unavailable to us. Long slow fermentation of wheat can reduce phytates by up to 90%. There is an interesting study that compares the effects of different leavens (yeast, sourdough, and a mixture of both) on phytic acid degradation which assessed the repercussions of phytic acid breakdown on phosphorus and magnesium solubility during bread-making, that showed Sourdough fermentation was much more efficient than yeast fermentation in reducing the phytate content in whole wheat bread (-62 and -38%, respectively). The lactic acid bacteria present in sourdough enhanced acidification, which lead to increased magnesium and phosphorus solubility.

Simply put the phytase enzymes released by the yeasts as the dough acidifies effectively pre-digests the flour, which releases the micronutrients and in turn reduces bloating and digestive discomfort.

Sourdough bread also takes longer to digest; studies have shown that rye flour added to sourdough can help regulate blood sugar levels which helps ward off diabetes.

Sourdough is also a prebiotic, which helps to support the gut micobiome. It is one of the the subjects that we go into detail on in the sourdough for health courses.

What are the ingredients in Sourdough?
Just flour, water and salt – all the other unnatural ingredients that commercially produced bread include are eliminated. Cheap, industrially manufactured, Chorleywood processed bread relies on enzymes, preservatives, emulsifiers and improvers to bake bread at speed. These additives are also to blame for some people’s wheat intolerance.

Is sourdough expensive to make?

No. Using ordinary strong flour means you can make an 800g loaf for as little as 28p, although I encourage my students to use organic locally milled stoneground flour if they are able to

Is sourdough easy to make?

Yes. It takes about 15 minutes spread over the course of 24 hours. Ironically sourdough has a reputation of being difficult, but it is just a matter of understanding how the dough behaves and what factors affect it. Open / Comment

2018-04-05 22:25:51 Sourdough Basic White Hi Loaf

You need a scale preferably a digital kitchen scale.

1. Prepare your leaven: Feed the 200g starter with at least double the amount of flour and water (400g flour and 400g water filtered.) Cover with clingwrap.

Once it is ready about 4 to 5 hours later* then save 200g of the starter in a glass jar with about a capacity of 500ml, clingwrap and put in fridge to feed exactly 24 hours later*.

Pour the remaining starter into Kenwood bowl together with 3 tabs white sugar (don't worry about it being unhealthy the starter eats up all the sugar as well as the flour and converts it into good stuff) and 2 to 3 cups (Stonemilled GMO FREE) white flour (I used cold flour directly from the freezer. Knead well and add butter mixture as follows:

Melt up about 1 heaped tab butter, 1/4 cup milk and 2 tsp Himilayan fine Salt, warm. Beat into it 1 egg. Make sure mixture not too hot or egg will get cooked.

Once added, knead further very well until smooth and ultra soft. Place into 2 greased loaf pan. Cover with dish cloth and allow to rise overnight and bake on 175 degrees thermofan for about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove loaf from pan immediately and place it upside-down in pan for a soft crust. Slice with fine serrated knife once cooled.

You can make pizza bases with this or each burger buns etc. Just be sure to bake it less.
It tends to get tough very quickly if over baked.

* Tip: a quick tip to test if your starter is ready and strong enough to use to make the bread dough is to drop a spoonful of starter into a glass of water, if it sinks it's not ready and needs to mature longer. If it floats, it's ready and good to go.

* (NOTE: You need to feed your stater daily to maintain, if you not baking daily, you still need to feed daily but remove half and throw away and keep going, note the longest you can leave it unfed in fridge is 2 days, if going on holiday, read instructions below how to keep it alive) Open / Comment
