Sourdough bread is a special type of French bread made with a hard dough that is allowed to ferment naturally for more than a day. This gives the bread a slightly sour taste.

Another speciality of this bread is the use of sea salt, which gives a nice salty crunch to the bread. It takes two days and a bit of preparation to make this bread, but it is totally worth the effort.

You can use this bread to make amazing starters and toasts. You can also use it like regular bread to make sandwiches, but remember that it is a bit salty.

You can store this bread in a paper bag or thick plastic bag for 2-3 days. It always tastes better a day after it has been made!

You can also bake other breads at home like Whole Wheat Ladi Pav , Multigrain Bread and Homemade Soft French Bread .

Do you have a video for the sourdough bread? If we don''t have a cane basket, can we put in a glass or plastic bowl?

Tarla Dalal    The cane basket is used for shape and marks. But, if you don''t have it, you can use plastic or glass bowl. Try and use a bowl of similar shape if possible.

Hi, Can we use active yeast powder instead of instant one for the sourdough bread recipe? If yes, then how much and at what step can we put the powder? Also, how can I add the jalapeños and cheese to the dough before baking?

Tarla Dalal    Instant dry yeast is easily available under the brand Bluebird and that is used in the recipe. So pleas use in the mentioned quantity in the recipe. We do not recommend using cheese and jalapeno. Moreover, sour dough is enjoyed as it is.

Sourdough bread, is given it name because of the use of sourdough starter preperation of wild yeast. I urge you to please check your recipe. This is not sourdough bread.

Tarla Dalal    HI, yes you are right, the name sour bread because of the starter. This recipe is a quick way to make it using yeast. If you see the method, the dough has been made sour, so after baking you will nearly get an exact taste of a sour bread. Do try the recipe, i am sure you will love making this bread.
