Janice Clyne - Nourished by nature

Workshop covering every aspect of baking sourdough bread, including techniques, flour, equipment, recipes, health benefits and tasting them!

Nourished by Nature

Sourdough bread is literally the best bread on the planet, and is so much more than just white bread with loads of holes in it! There are literally endless variations, and once you have your basic recipe, you can have lots of fun creating your own unique sourdough.
Sourdough is naturally slowly fermented, during that time a magical transformation takes place. The gluten is largely broken down so many people with gluten intolerance can eat slowly fermented sourdough with no digestive upset!
Sourdough benefits
•	Gluten is broken down, so easier to digest
•	Phytic acid is broken down releasing minerals for the body to absorb
•	Made with only 3 ingredients, no dodgy additives and no pesticide residues if you use organic flour
•	Has a lower GI so it keeps your blood sugar stable for longer
•	Acidity keeps sourdough fresher so no need for preservatives
•	It’s delicious and you can vary the level of sourness
•	Its high in resistant starch so considered a prebiotic food, ie food for your gut bacteria!
