Bread & Nutrition

Not all bread is created equal. At Sourdough School, we go far beyond baking techniques to explore how bread nourishes the body.

Category Introduction for Bread & Nutrition

Bread is not just a staple food—it can be a powerful tool for supporting health and well-being when made with care and knowledge. This category explores the profound connection between bread and nutrition, delving into how fermentation unlocks nutrients, reduces anti-nutrients like phytic acid, and creates bread that is easier to digest. We go beyond the basics to examine how sourdough bread can balance blood sugar, improve gut health, and provide essential fibre, vitamins, and minerals.

With insights grounded in science and practical application, we investigate the role of whole grains, the impact of additives on health, and how milling techniques affect nutrient retention. From exploring the healthiest bread options to understanding how bread supports immune function and mental well-being, this is your ultimate resource to understand how fermentation transforms bread into a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle.
