What is the difference between sourdough and regular bread?
The main difference between sourdough bread and regular bread is how they rise. Sourdough bread either relies solely on its fermented sourdough starter to create gases that make the bread rise or a combination of a starter and yeast, whereas usual bread only calls for yeast. Another main difference is the taste. Sourdough bread is known to have a tangy, sour flavor to them in comparison to regular bread.
