Hello,
New and different types of bread are constantly appearing in stores. I would like to ask if there is a difference between sourdough bread, leavened bread, or bread with a sourdough starter. I mean in terms of processing technology or are these just language expressions by sales chains, and are they actually one and the same process of fermentation and baking?
Thank you.
Sourdough and ferment are synonyms, so there is no difference here. If you encounter the term "bread with sourdough" in baked goods, it is important to thoroughly examine the ingredients – it might be purely sourdough bread, or it could be bread that contains only a certain proportion of sourdough along with the presence of yeast (this information must be provided by the food manufacturer on the packaging by law, or in the case of unpackaged foods, must be available to the customer upon request).
