National Sourdough Bread Day


Its National Poop Challenge Day! Today is the day to weigh your movements in an effort to prove your pooping prowess (thanks Mandy for that alliteration inspiration!...ooh a rhyme…)! So get your scales at the ready, and be sure to brag to anyone you come in contact with! I know in my household, I’m the champion! What about you?

Just joking! Its April Fool’s Day, and today is really National Sourdough Bread Day!
           
Sourdough bread is “bread product made by a long fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeasts.” Its “sour” taste is brought on by the lactic acid produced by these lactobacilli.

The origins of sourdough are thought to go as far back as Ancient Egypt, approximately 1500 BC. It is also believed to be the first type of leavening agent available to bakers.
