Sourdough starters have been popular since the Sumerians and Egyptians and the Mayans discovered that grains mixed with water fermented. Every civilization that ever discovered bread, discovered beer and wine at the same time. The only practical way to continue to get the benefits of this magical living substance was to save a part of the leavening from today’s bread, or beer, and use it to start the next days batch. We call that ’sourdough starter’.
I’m not sure that my sourdough starters will bake good beer, but I do know they make excellent bread, rolls, pancakes, waffles and biscuits.
