Good things come to those who wait…

Authentic sourdough bread does not use commercial yeast.

If there is yeast in the ingredient list, it is not a real sourdough bread…even if there is a “sourdough starter” listed as well. Sourdough needs time for the natural bacteria to grow the bread and create the healthy benefits this process provides.

Commercial yeast is used to speed up the process, so the good stuff doesn’t have time to happen. Commercial yeast has a strong beer like smell that masks the true flavour of the other ingredients.

Authentic yeast free sourdough bread lets you taste the grains and seeds without the strong yeast notes.
