Overnight Sourdough Starter: A Journey Through Time and Fermentation
An overnight sourdough starter is a fermented dough made from a mixture of flour, water, and naturally occurring wild yeast and bacteria. This mixture, when left to ferment for an extended period, typically overnight, develops a sour flavor and a complex aroma. For example, a widely recognized sourdough bread, San Francisco sourdough, is made using a starter that has been passed down for over 150 years.
