Ikaria Sourdough Bread Recipe

Like Sardinia’s sourdough bread, Ikaria’s signature loaf harnesses the digestive power of wild yeast to break up simple sugars, eliminate much gluten, and produce a bread that will make your entire meal healthier. Studies show that true sourdough bread actually lowers the glycemic load of a meal, which is to say it slows the absorption of sugars into the blood. More importantly, this bread tastes delicious, so you’ll want to eat it every day.

*Baking with a sourdough starter (or wild yeast, a mixture of flour and water that’s fermented) captures beneficial lactic acid bacteria and results in a healthier, tastier bread than if you were to use pre-made yeasts. The easiest way to make sourdough is to ask another baker for some starter. If that’s not possible, make your own:

In a large glass jar with a lot of room, mix together 2 cups whole-wheat flour and 11⁄2 cups water until it forms a thick liquid.
