In this episode of Family Tree, Food & Stories, we’re rising to a new level with sourdough.
What began as an accidental blend of flour and water over 4,500 years ago, sourdough has evolved into a global obsession—and in this episode, Nancy May and Sylvia Lovely delve into the rich story of how it all started and its subsequent expansion. From ancient Egyptian brewing methods to quirky pandemic starter names like “Twinkle,” which have been shared around the world, this discussion dishes up wild history, a little kitchen chemistry, and some family stories and traditions. You’ve likely got a few of your own to share, too.
Nancy & Sylvia share how this wild yeast has different flavors, and why every kitchen’s sourdough has its unique sourdough profile. Then Nancy shares her own experience with the living creature dough and more.
Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just curious, you’ll want to listen in and learn more about the ever-popular sourdough.
