VITAM Buy Sourdough Extract Organic (12x15g)

VITAM Original sourdough you need to make rye and mixed rye breads. It is an "original sourdough", made from organic wholemeal rye flour and live sourdough cultures, which was gently dried at the end of its 3-step maturation and is now available to you without further waiting for immediate baking. Without complex dough management and unwanted foreign yeasts, VITAM sourdough guarantees you easy handling and full flavor. However, to bake sourdough breads you also need yeast (just like any baker). This is because the function of sourdough is to acidify the dough and thus inhibit the starch-splitting enzymes in the rye dough. This starch is important for the structure of the bread structure, because rye has a starch structure in contrast to the protein structure of wheat breads. Only after acidification can the additional yeast develop its driving force to build up a loose bread crumb.
