Bread Alone Whole Wheat Sourdough
What it is
This is a loaf of whole wheat sourdough bread. It is made with a starter, which is a fermented mixture of flour and water. The fermentation process gives sourdough its characteristic tangy flavor and chewy texture. Whole wheat flour contributes a heartier taste and a denser crumb compared to white flour. The bread is baked to a golden brown crust.

The sturdy crust holds up well when used for dipping into hearty stews or chilis.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike commercially yeasted breads, this sourdough relies on natural fermentation for leavening. This process develops a more complex flavor profile and a chewier texture. The whole wheat flour also gives it a distinct nutty taste and a darker color than white sourdough.
