What is Sourdough?
Get to know the dough...
Sourdough is one of the oldest forms of bread, dating back over 5,000 years. Long before commercial yeast existed, bakers discovered that when flour and water were left to rest, wild yeast and natural bacteria from the air would come together to create a living, bubbling starter — the heart of every sourdough loaf. This ancient method of breadmaking has been passed down through generations, connecting us to a simpler, more natural way of baking. Beyond its rich history, sourdough is known for being easier to digest, full of nutrients, and made with only real, wholesome ingredients. The slow fermentation process gives it that signature tangy flavor, chewy texture, and gentle rise that makes every loaf feel alive. To me, sourdough isn’t just bread — it’s a beautiful reminder that good things take time, care, and patience.
Sourdough & Me
About
Welcome to The Sourdough Life Co.!
I’m Zoe Bryan, the heart and hands behind The Sourdough Life.
I started baking sourdough at home because I wanted to make bread that felt good. Something I didn’t have to feel guilty about eating, and that my family could enjoy together. What began as a kitchen experiment quickly turned into a passion that filled my home with warmth, creativity and the smell of baked goodies.
As a stay-at-home mom, I needed a hobby that let me slow down and be creative while still keeping my kids close. Now, baking sourdough is something we do together. Every loaf reminds me that good things take time, and that love really is the best ingredient.
The Sourdough Life is more than just bread to me ....it’s a way to share a piece of our home, our heart, and a little slice of comfort with yours.
