Sourdough bread, one of the earliest forms of leavened bread, is made by fermenting lactic acid bacteria and yeast. Sourdough remains prevalent in many cultures worldwide for its slightly tangy flavor and potential health benefits.

You can find sourdough at most grocery stores or easily make the bread with three basic ingredients—flour, water, and salt. However, it’s not the right choice for everyone, namely people with celiac disease.
