The Science of Sourdough (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798252262512)

The Microbial Conspiracy in Your Kitchen
Somewhere in the quiet corners of human history, a bowl of wet flour was forgotten.
Perhaps it sat near a hearth in Mesopotamia. Perhaps it waited on a wooden table in Egypt while someone chased a goat or argued about taxes. The exact moment is lost to time.
But while the humans were distracted, the microbes got to work.
Wild yeast floating in the air landed on the mixture. Bacteria already living on the grain woke up when water arrived. Enzymes inside the flour began quietly dismantling starch molecules like patient locksmiths picking a very old lock.
The mixture began to bubble.
It smelled strange. Sour. Alive.
Someone brave-or hungry-baked it anyway.
