Sourdough bread

[Kenworthy]

Is it ok to eat sourdough bread?

It depends if you can eat something which is over 50 percent carbs.
If you make the bread yourself, you could add in low carb ingredients to try to reduce the carb count down to something easier to cope with.
When I make bread I add in psyllium husk flour, coconut flour, ground almonds and milled seed mix to my usual recipe, plus some baking powder to help it rise, as the yeast and bread flour can't support all the extras. I use some rye flour and the milled seeds to disguise the purple colouration from the psyllium.

For me it was worse than normal bread, but we all seem to react differently.

A slice does not affect my BS levels fortunately, while other bread does.

That’s because a well made sourdough has more zero carb holes in it.

That explains it. It tasted good, appearance was 2/10. Flatbread

The other thing is that many supermarket “sourdough” breads aren’t. Look at the ingredients- if you see citric acid in the ingredients, it’s fake. A real sourdough contains flour, water and a pinch of salt, with no added yeast.

I made mine, I bought a proper sourdough mother and nurtured her so carefully. She smelled amazing, almost beery, but I am obviously lacking in the baking department because you could have used it as some kind of deadly frisbee weapon.
