Drizzle thick slices of sourdough bread with olive oil and top with roasted vegetables.
This classic bread is known for its slightly sour, tangy flavour. Special yeast starters are used to make sourdough bread. These starters are prepared by combining flour, water, and yeast, and allowing the mixture to ferment for several days. Once fermented, the starter acquires a tangy, slightly sour flavour and aroma. The starter is responsible for the distinctive taste of sourdough bread. Because starters are said to improve with age, they are often cultivated for years and handed down to family members and friends.
