Yeah (though a lot of it is actually made with ready yeast) you can't really compare the bread in Germany/Austria/Switzerland to the packaged bread if you ask me. They are just worlds apart in taste, texture, variety and culture.

If you read the labels, you can see how they get away with a misleading graph by using a low non-zero number as a baseline and going up in units of 4 from there. Unfortunately, they chose 130 as their baseline, which caused the amount of positions between zero and their chosen baseline to be fractional -- exactly 32.5 positions to be exact -- so the graph is actually wrongly labeled if you extend the graph down to 0 as the baseline. As such, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. EDIT: Fixed my wording (was "positions before zero" instead of "positions between zero and their chosen baseline") immediately after posting the reply.
I honestly didn't even think of it that far, lol. What I got from the video mostly was that the ingredients themselves are easy to get for starting this bread and it's not too difficult to maintain. The amount of bread people are consuming has of course dropped as everyone I know is shunning eating it (and even I don't eat as much as I used to), but I didn't see that graph and think bread consumption had dropped off the map. Not if the empty shelves at the store have been anything to go by during this pandemic, lol. But thankfully, that's balanced itself back out, like with toilet paper.
I bake my own sourdough for my household and family, when you realise that the ingredients to make it aren't that expensive and the time required isn't too intense it makes it an easy choice. The real advantage i've found after a lifetime of eating white, square bread is that a Spelt/White sourdough will keep me full for much longer from only a single slice without the heavy stodgy feeling I got before. If anyone is on the fence about making it, just go for it, you need minimal ingredients and just some time!
Pure sourdough leavened bread with its basic 3 ingredients of flour, water and salt (and of course the naturally occurring symbiotic culture of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria) is Vegan. If adding a sweetener is desired, Agave nectar is an alternative to honey. Olive or sunflower oil can also be added if one desires a softer crust and still keep it Vegan.
The levain is one of the most important parts of making sourdough and it can oversour if not attended and refreshed. Many people are really peaky about the pH of their levain and if it over sours it can tip off many recepies runining hours of work in calculations and testing, so it you can pay someone to tend to it while you are gone you are just making sure you can take vacation and return to the same product and carry on with the work. I mean it is not something i would pay, I would just ask a friend or something , but there is a reason for something like that to exist cause its basically like having a dog lol
@@Alatriste90 In all honesty, there are worse things people can spend their money on. It makes them happy and that's fine, of course. Just maybe not how I'd spend my dollars!
You can put it in a fridge and it will be fine for 3 weeks. Also if you need to keep it for longer you can dry it out and rehydrate it even years later.
@@youknowmyname9915 the thing is most people that use this are people that NEED their levain to remain as such and need it also active to get back to work as soon as they come back, aka profesional bakers. If you leave it in the fridge for 3 weeks it will oversour cause it's just going to keep producing CO2, the only way to actually stop the fermentation is through freezing as you say but again, many of this people actually need the levain active and running.
Damn CNBC went really deep on this one. Really enjoyed it... one of my favorite episodes. Never thought I would watch a sourdough bread episode with so much concentration. Good job guys !!!
Those "additives" do make a difference, even in "high quality" non-mass-produced breads. People are just to ignorant to be open to things they don't have in their kitchen kabinets. Lecitin: Emulsifier, creates a softer bread that takes longer to get stale. Lecitin is also found in a lot of natural products. Traditionally used in breads for many years, only to be called "Egg Yolk" Fat: Most high quality breads advice adding a little bit of fat too, it makes the crust more tender, prevents bread getting stale (due to drying out) and adds flavor Extra Gluten: Those are almost always from the same source as your flour: Wheat. Nothing to be ashamed of. Bread flour is often defined by its gluten content (which sets it apart from "all purpose" flour), however there is a max. the amount of gluten even in bread flour and most breads would improve with a little(!) extra gluten even in high-quality (expensive!) manitoba flour. Enzymes: Actually: Bread WITH enzymes is MORE natural than without. Traditionally diastatic malt (powder), which is simply malt that has started to sproud and dried has been added to bread for quite a while to increase quality. In increases the crust and oven spring ascorbic acid: Just plain old "Vitamin-C", but without the taste associated with adding actual fruit(juice) to the dough. This is used to keep the bread fresh longer and improves proofing, while still being a natural ingredient which has traditionally been used for quite a while in breads. What I wanted to make clear: People tend to be fearsome of things they don't understand. But fear tends to only do one thing: Make people stupid. If I would call bread with Lecitin, Fat, Extra Gluten, Enzymes and Ascorbic Acid: "Enriched Bread with oliveoil, Malt and fruit-extract" no one would bother.
You made an interesting and thought-provoking dissenting point. A big theme of the video is essentially hawking being "all natural" and "old" means something must be better. But then so are things like asbestos or lead can be viewed as just as old and just as natural. You have a good point that the "32 ingredients" versus "2 ingredients" is not inherently indicative if one is healthier than the other. After all, all science did was isolate lecithin from egg yolk, and that should mean we found a more direct way to keep baked good fluffy without having to use eggs. At the same time, I think the video is without value either. We shouldn't fear ascorbic acid just because it sounds scary when reading it in a the ingredients label. But it is also true sourdough has lots of fiber, more protein, and avoids the other aspects where adding lecithin and ascorbic acid is harmless but they also tend to add tons of sugar or other stuff that may be far more harmful. It's a lot easier to assess something when you only have to analyze 2 ingredients versus 32 ingredients - even if all 32 ingredients are all safe and even healthy. In the end, I just hope we are moving towards a more healthy future.
The cheap white bread we have today is a legacy from the great depression when people could not afford a normal loaf of bread. Before the great depression people chose better tasting bread, not for health reasons but for taste. Today we have more food options, and the majority are choosing the better tasting option. Only a small minority are doing it for health. However, with that being said, the health facts revolving around cheap sandwich bread are: The two most common things people do complain about: Sugar: Cheap bread has added sugar. Refined Flour: White flour may be the #1 cause of type 2 diabetes in the US. It is very high on the glycemic index. The things you mentioned: Lecithin: The lecithin used today in bread is usually made from soy which is one of the most common food allergies, but is under reported, because the majority have mild allergy symptoms not realizing it is a food allergy. Imagine eating a product where roughly 2-3% of all people who eat it have mild gastrointestinal issues. Fat: No one is complaining about fat. It's 2020. Extra Gluten: It's great if you like your food to not fill you up. Also, like soy lecithin even people who are not celiac often have problems from too much gluten. Everyone has a different rate in which enzymes that digest gluten are produced. For many eating a sandwich with extra gluten every day can cause problems. Enzymes: No one is complaining about enzymes. ascorbic acid: I have not heard of anyone complain about this. Of course genetics plays a larger role. If your family doesn't have anyone with type 2 diabetes or heart issues in the family, and there is no problems with overweight in your gene pool, then by all means eat all the Wonderbread you want. For the majority of people, eating too much of it will cause medical issues later on in life.
That's what happens with almost everything with a scientific basis. People are too lazy to do their own research. This is why we have anti-vaxxers. People group everything unfamiliar to them on food label as "chemicals". Trust me, this is something of great frustration to every chemist, including myself. Don't even get us started on the use of the word "organic" to mean natural when describing food.
@@gonzalomoreno560 Recent research has begun to show that when roundup is not washed off on ingredients and is eaten, it can increase the risk of arthritis, heart disease, and dementia. Ofc this is a weak finding, but it does beg the question if organic cereal, for example, is safer. A question no one yet has an answer for. I have a food allergy that is generally considered a cheap filler ingredient. I don't care if the food I buy is organic, but most "organic" food right now has higher quality ingredients, which does make most organic food healthier today. I'm grateful for the non-rational. It was hard for me to find food I could buy at supermarkets 15 years ago.
gonzalo moreno this is basically the TLDR version of my previous rant. Cooking is chemnistry and there are a lot of things with scary names that actually are amazing once you learn how to use the. Like replacing 10% of flour by weight with modified corn starch in a pound cake. Sounds scarry, but keeps your cake from getting stale amazingly well! :)
So, I owned a bakery for over 25 years and must say The best book on the market for sourdough making ( the Bible of all Sourdough) is "Breads From The Le Brea Bakery" by Nancy Silverton I've made sourdough starter from homegrown grapes, water and organic flour..... (please note: each sourdough has a distinct flavor based on the place it's made) ...my starter has been around for years.....when not in use it stays in the fridge in a quart size canning jar til I pull it out for use....it does not need to be babysat and fed until you take it out of the fridge...preferably the night before to warm up...then feed it morning noon and night, the next day you are ready to start a sponge to ferment, after a few hours you make a loaf and away you go... I've had my starters dry out to be paper and all I did was add water, set it out at room temp...bingo, after a few hours bubbles appear and away I go to start a sponge.... One of the reasons why sourdough bread is tolerated by people who cannot have gluten is because the fermentation breaks down the gluten, also when sourdough is baked so it has a thick crust it will last on the counter in a paper bag for days without getting moldy, the fermentation is a natural preservative, all that happens is the crust ends up taking on moisture and gets chewy, the inside of the bread remains soft.... Cheers !
Somewhere out there, is a rescue-home and pound for neglected, abused, and otherwise abandoned pet rocks. I mean. I don't KNOW that. But I'm sure there is.
Sourdough is a specific kind of bread that uses naturally occurring wild yeast. That's different from bread where yeast is an added ingredient. You don't have bread with added yeast in Germany? That seems hard to believe.
Yeah..... many generations of sourdough pizza and focaccia makers in my family. My mum unfortunately interrupted the tradition, I've resumed it and passed it down to my son. The percentage of sugar in my blood has sensibly gone down since I only eat sourdough bread, helping me avoid becoming diabetic like many of my relatives.
I really like CNBC content. They straight up summarize the contents of their entire video before the actual content proper starts. Unlike other ones where almost half of the video is just an introduction.
I started my sourdough in 2006. King Arthur flour and my well water in a bowl. I sat the original bowl full of the mixture next to a bowl of juniper berries. It makes great bread.
"Just two ingredients" - yeah but it won't taste very good. You need at least 3 ingredients to make tasty bread: Flour, water and salt. I'd argue that yeast is a fourth ingredient, despite it being freely available in the air.
When you have a strong sourdough starter, it can last for a hundred years!! Just keep a little in the fridge until next loaf. Mine is now over a year old and is very strong!
For sure, but those bread makers - Larraburu & Parisian - have been gone for a long time. Boudin now claims the title, but it just doesn't do it for me. There are newer great breads in the SF area, including sourdoughs, but none are the same as those 60s and 70s ones.
"food adjacent" Good way of putting it and so true. Taking food back to basics - real basics - is wonderful. Just started making my own sourdough and so impressed with it!

great video, highly informative and well organized information. Sourdough allows me to eat bread again. My tummy was so bloated I seemed 4 months pregnant and I'm noticing that many women of all ages have the same bloat bellies. Even the new fashions have pleats and styled to hide tummy bloat. I love it.
In the 1960's, one of my friends' father was an engineer in Richmond, Virginia, for American Machine and Foundary (AMF). He used to tell me "I'm an engineer. I design the machines that make Wonder Bread. So I know what goes into it. If you ever knew what goes into it, you would NEVER feed this to your children!" True story.
I legit teared up. As sad as it is that this is considered a “new thing” I’m still happy people are getting into it. Me included. As an American who has seen the light, I have that we have so many processed foods
I grew up on San Francisco Sourdough. My oldest brother moved to France after college. One day he asked (in French) for sourdough bread when he was in a bakery. Well, the French baker through him out of the bakery because he thought my brother was calling his bread "sour"!
Thats because warm countries like France and Italy, have warm conditions for sourdough bread, to not actually be sour. Thats why translated, their starter culture is called just "Levain", while colder countries like Norway, US, Canada, and Britain, would call their starter cultures "sourdough". He shouldv asked for naturally levained bread maybe.
You know what mimics the symptoms of a gluten allergy almost exactly? Glycophosphate poisoning. American farmers illegally use extra glycophosphate (the pesticide called Round Up) as a desiccant (something to speed drying) in order to expedite harvests.
I bake my sourdough at home. It is a very rewarding experience. I prepared my own starter over a couple of months, and I use it to bake a sourdough that I know exactly what I put in it. Organic bread flour, filtered water, and my own starter! You will enjoy it.
Hey CNBC, ancient Greece came before Ancient Rome. Ask anyone in the office that took Latin; that’s what that whole Trojan War & the Aeneid thing was about. #eastcoast
make your own bread at home and cut it. you don't need to waste 20 minutes watching this. commercial bread has many chemicals. not homemade. Just that!
Have been making sourdough bread for over 35 years. I’m still mystified by the process. I’ve scaled down my baking; children gone, husbands illness, but will not ever let my starter go. I have my starter in the freezer, and a backup that I dehydrated. Once in a while I remove from freezer. It continues to give me (and others I bake for on occasion), a most lovely bread!
Its a very thorough video. They just made two tiny mistakes. During fermentation acetic acid is also produced. In addition gluten is not a protein it is a makeup of two proteins glutenin and gliadin that is produced during mixing in the presence of water. So technically flour doesnt have gluten but dough does.
Keep in mind sour dough bread is never meant to be eaten cold. It's meant to be wrapped in aluminum foil and heated up in the oven, or heated in a similar way like sliced in a toaster oven before eating. When it is heated the sour flavor drops off, or minimizes if it's an unusually sour loaf. I come from a rich family that ate traditional food and high end ingredients growing up in the Napa Sonoma area. I went to another family thanksgiving and gave them a freshly made sour dough from our baker. They thanked me and then cut into it immediately and promptly complained that the bread was under cooked. As silly as it sounds, it was a bit of a culture shock for me at that moment. A whole group of people, over 40, and none of them had had "real" bread before. It blew my mind.
@@razzlfraz Aluminium foil has nothing to do with "real bread". You think it existed in Ancient Egypt? In Europe, we bought bread from a baker, and it wasn't sourdough. Yet according to your definition, we didn't eat "real bread" because it wasn't sourdough.
I think the reason for the decline is that most bread is absolute crap made in 30 minutes or less. Real bread takes days to make and is worth the extra price.
This was fascinating👏🏻 I bake 3-4 sourdough loaves weekly. It has become my addiction and obsession. My bread baking skills have improved 2-fold I will never stop after seeing this video. Thank you for sharing❤️
4000 BC: At 3:40 the storyteller says the first written source of sourdough dates back to 4000 BC at the pyramids. However, the pyramids supposedly were built around 2500 BC. I believe he meant to say either 4000 years ago or 2000 BC.
In Sicily they make sourdough with hard wheat. The bread is big, round and a bit flat. The air pockets look nice and the slices are perfect for bruschetta. Many families use a very old sourdough which they got from their parents or relatives. A good thing to use is some freshly made juice (for example made with ripe peaches) to feed and pamper the bacteria. ;) Spelt is also great for sour dough.
please quote the sources of all the bold statements you do staring from minute 9:00 for what I know the average person do not have iron, magnesium or zynk deficiency, plus, is the absorbed amount variation relevant? how does the microorganisms help the gut health? because I want to underline that baking kills them (so it's not the same as eating uncooked yogurt) and have a conscience and do not make statements that could cause serious health hazard to diabetics, *unmanaged diabetes can lead to diabetic coma* , and there's no way that bread is going to rise glicemy like food that is poor in sugar and carbohydrates, bread is alway gonna rise glicemy more because it's rich in carbohydrates. it's the carbohydrates that needs to be reduced to rise glicemy slower
Excellent documentary. I enjoy eating and baking sourdough. It took a bit of trial and error but now I have it mastered. Scoring the dough before baking is an added art which can yield fun an surprising results. I've also had great success making a similar bread using homemade wild yeast water.
The "sour-dough hotels" are hilarious. Your starter is fine in the fridge for up to 2 weeks after feeding (can take a few days of feeding to fully revive though) and indefinitely in the freezer.
I enjoyed the history and discussion of how it is better for people with diabetes and gluten sensitivities. Wish there was a little more info on "Sourfaux" and how to identify it.
Yes, that combined with an alarming amount of processed sugars and starches in our packaged food habit. When I grew up we didn't get chips or chocolate or white toast - that was reserved for special occasions, just like that chunk of meat was reserved for Sunday. Today we eat as if Sunday, Christmas and Birthday all come together 365 days a year - no wonder we get all the health issues that in the middle ages were attributed to the rich.
best thing about using whole wheat for it is that the yeast break down all those nutrients in the whole wheat flour you wouldn't get with normal flour, making it even healthier
@@florianpeter7045 Some is. Maybe im some village they don't know anyone else so they define it. Some rye is sourdough, like good Jewish rye moist and a crust with chew. Ah, Canter's.
As much as I love making my sourdough, the sourdough inn guy is rediculous. Either just put it in the fridge and feed it when you get home .... or dehydrate it before you leave and reactivate it when you come home. Starter really isn't that needy, I wish people would stop acting like it is.
EPiCSLiCeR oil and sugar aren’t the problem bud😂 take a look at the chemicals they add. There’s a reason that type of bread totally dehydrates before it moulds. Nothing can live on it
EPiCSLiCeR I’m aware that it’s technically bread and only an idiot would misunderstand and believe my comment that it’s not actually made out of bread.

Imagine going to a school solely based on sourdough
Yep, the end is near.
This comment, my friend, this comment is truly an example of great humor.
@@B8R8 society is complex.
Super-specialization is a modern problem.
you forget the most important thing: Sourdough tastes better
It does not who wants sour bread? Gross.
Yeahhh noo.
Its super hard
@@epiccollision it does not have to be sour. It is called that because it is levened using natural acid.

My son was having lots of stomach issues until we switched to sourdough. It freezes well too.
Is there a trick to freezing it?
@@KotoriOnWheels the trick is to put it in the freezer
CNBC: It's called Sourdough Starter, and you can think of it as a living thing.
Vegans: Igh't I'm gonna head out...
Pure sourdough leavened bread with its basic 3 ingredients of flour, water and salt (and of course the naturally occurring symbiotic culture of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria) is Vegan. If adding a sweetener is desired, Agave nectar is an alternative to honey. Olive or sunflower oil can also be added if one desires a softer crust and still keep it Vegan.
fungi is vegan.
Plants are also a living thing
@@Swanky11 yes but the plant parts are dead, the living ingredient (yeast) is a fungus. as for vegans, they only care about abstaining from animalia.
MadEzra64 😂😂
Putting your bread mixture in a "hotel" when you're gone? I'm sorry, what?!
The levain is one of the most important parts of making sourdough and it can oversour if not attended and refreshed. Many people are really peaky about the pH of their levain and if it over sours it can tip off many recepies runining hours of work in calculations and testing, so it you can pay someone to tend to it while you are gone you are just making sure you can take vacation and return to the same product and carry on with the work. I mean it is not something i would pay, I would just ask a friend or something , but there is a reason for something like that to exist cause its basically like having a dog lol
@@Alatriste90 In all honesty, there are worse things people can spend their money on. It makes them happy and that's fine, of course.
Just maybe not how I'd spend my dollars!
You can put it in a fridge and it will be fine for 3 weeks. Also if you need to keep it for longer you can dry it out and rehydrate it even years later.
@@youknowmyname9915 the thing is most people that use this are people that NEED their levain to remain as such and need it also active to get back to work as soon as they come back, aka profesional bakers. If you leave it in the fridge for 3 weeks it will oversour cause it's just going to keep producing CO2, the only way to actually stop the fermentation is through freezing as you say but again, many of this people actually need the levain active and running.
Yes, you want it to get a lot of free yeast. And the prevalence of prostitutes in hotels guarantee lots of yeast.
Damn CNBC went really deep on this one. Really enjoyed it... one of my favorite episodes. Never thought I would watch a sourdough bread episode with so much concentration. Good job guys !!!
One of my fav childhood memories is my mom making us avocado toast with sourdough. We still eat it.
I've been making sourdough bread for the past two years! It's a great and delicious hobby!
Everything I need to know about sourdough, I learned from Claire from the Bon Appetit test kitchen.
Ross Campoli - Leadership & Business Videos she’s wonderful
Lol yes that was a great video
Brad's video on sour dough (ft. Claire) was what inspired me to start baking my own.

I work in a bakery and we have multiple sourdough breads. The sourdough are top sellers in our store.
Those "additives" do make a difference, even in "high quality" non-mass-produced breads.
People are just to ignorant to be open to things they don't have in their kitchen kabinets.
Lecitin: Emulsifier, creates a softer bread that takes longer to get stale. Lecitin is also found in a lot of natural products. Traditionally used in breads for many years, only to be called "Egg Yolk"
Fat: Most high quality breads advice adding a little bit of fat too, it makes the crust more tender, prevents bread getting stale (due to drying out) and adds flavor
Extra Gluten: Those are almost always from the same source as your flour: Wheat. Nothing to be ashamed of. Bread flour is often defined by its gluten content (which sets it apart from "all purpose" flour), however there is a max. the amount of gluten even in bread flour and most breads would improve with a little(!) extra gluten even in high-quality (expensive!) manitoba flour.
Enzymes: Actually: Bread WITH enzymes is MORE natural than without. Traditionally diastatic malt (powder), which is simply malt that has started to sproud and dried has been added to bread for quite a while to increase quality. In increases the crust and oven spring
ascorbic acid: Just plain old "Vitamin-C", but without the taste associated with adding actual fruit(juice) to the dough. This is used to keep the bread fresh longer and improves proofing, while still being a natural ingredient which has traditionally been used for quite a while in breads.
What I wanted to make clear:
People tend to be fearsome of things they don't understand. But fear tends to only do one thing: Make people stupid.
If I would call bread with Lecitin, Fat, Extra Gluten, Enzymes and Ascorbic Acid: "Enriched Bread with oliveoil, Malt and fruit-extract" no one would bother.
You made an interesting and thought-provoking dissenting point. A big theme of the video is essentially hawking being "all natural" and "old" means something must be better. But then so are things like asbestos or lead can be viewed as just as old and just as natural. You have a good point that the "32 ingredients" versus "2 ingredients" is not inherently indicative if one is healthier than the other. After all, all science did was isolate lecithin from egg yolk, and that should mean we found a more direct way to keep baked good fluffy without having to use eggs.
At the same time, I think the video is without value either. We shouldn't fear ascorbic acid just because it sounds scary when reading it in a the ingredients label. But it is also true sourdough has lots of fiber, more protein, and avoids the other aspects where adding lecithin and ascorbic acid is harmless but they also tend to add tons of sugar or other stuff that may be far more harmful. It's a lot easier to assess something when you only have to analyze 2 ingredients versus 32 ingredients - even if all 32 ingredients are all safe and even healthy. In the end, I just hope we are moving towards a more healthy future.
The cheap white bread we have today is a legacy from the great depression when people could not afford a normal loaf of bread. Before the great depression people chose better tasting bread, not for health reasons but for taste. Today we have more food options, and the majority are choosing the better tasting option. Only a small minority are doing it for health. However, with that being said, the health facts revolving around cheap sandwich bread are:
The two most common things people do complain about:
Sugar: Cheap bread has added sugar.
Refined Flour: White flour may be the #1 cause of type 2 diabetes in the US. It is very high on the glycemic index.
The things you mentioned:
Lecithin: The lecithin used today in bread is usually made from soy which is one of the most common food allergies, but is under reported, because the majority have mild allergy symptoms not realizing it is a food allergy. Imagine eating a product where roughly 2-3% of all people who eat it have mild gastrointestinal issues.
Fat: No one is complaining about fat. It's 2020.
Extra Gluten: It's great if you like your food to not fill you up. Also, like soy lecithin even people who are not celiac often have problems from too much gluten. Everyone has a different rate in which enzymes that digest gluten are produced. For many eating a sandwich with extra gluten every day can cause problems.
Enzymes: No one is complaining about enzymes.
ascorbic acid: I have not heard of anyone complain about this.
Of course genetics plays a larger role. If your family doesn't have anyone with type 2 diabetes or heart issues in the family, and there is no problems with overweight in your gene pool, then by all means eat all the Wonderbread you want. For the majority of people, eating too much of it will cause medical issues later on in life.
That's what happens with almost everything with a scientific basis. People are too lazy to do their own research. This is why we have anti-vaxxers. People group everything unfamiliar to them on food label as "chemicals". Trust me, this is something of great frustration to every chemist, including myself. Don't even get us started on the use of the word "organic" to mean natural when describing food.
@@gonzalomoreno560 Recent research has begun to show that when roundup is not washed off on ingredients and is eaten, it can increase the risk of arthritis, heart disease, and dementia. Ofc this is a weak finding, but it does beg the question if organic cereal, for example, is safer. A question no one yet has an answer for.
I have a food allergy that is generally considered a cheap filler ingredient. I don't care if the food I buy is organic, but most "organic" food right now has higher quality ingredients, which does make most organic food healthier today. I'm grateful for the non-rational. It was hard for me to find food I could buy at supermarkets 15 years ago.
gonzalo moreno this is basically the TLDR version of my previous rant.
Cooking is chemnistry and there are a lot of things with scary names that actually are amazing once you learn how to use the.
Like replacing 10% of flour by weight with modified corn starch in a pound cake. Sounds scarry, but keeps your cake from getting stale amazingly well! :)
A couple of weeks ago my sourdough starter got loose and killed the mailman.
Hate when that happens.
Lol😂😂
He keeps bringing bills. I've told him I'll sick my starter on him.
It was probably the uniform.
So, I owned a bakery for over 25 years and must say The best book on the market for sourdough making ( the Bible of all Sourdough) is "Breads From The Le Brea Bakery" by Nancy Silverton
I've made sourdough starter from homegrown grapes, water and organic flour..... (please note: each sourdough has a distinct flavor based on the place it's made) ...my starter has been around for years.....when not in use it stays in the fridge in a quart size canning jar til I pull it out for use....it does not need to be babysat and fed until you take it out of the fridge...preferably the night before to warm up...then feed it morning noon and night, the next day you are ready to start a sponge to ferment, after a few hours you make a loaf and away you go...
I've had my starters dry out to be paper and all I did was add water, set it out at room temp...bingo, after a few hours bubbles appear and away I go to start a sponge....
One of the reasons why sourdough bread is tolerated by people who cannot have gluten is because the fermentation breaks down the gluten, also when sourdough is baked so it has a thick crust it will last on the counter in a paper bag for days without getting moldy, the fermentation is a natural preservative, all that happens is the crust ends up taking on moisture and gets chewy, the inside of the bread remains soft....
Cheers !
Thank you, Joy! I'd love to pick your brain about sourdough breads!
Sourdough hotels!? When you think you've heard it all...
Somewhere out there, is a rescue-home and pound for neglected, abused, and otherwise abandoned pet rocks.
I mean.
I don't KNOW that.
But I'm sure there is.
Oh My. What you call sourdough bread, ihere in germany is just called bread. What you call bread, we would call industrial white bread.
No
I totally agree, here in CZ american bread is called toast bread.
@@rudybratr Same in Germany. It's toast. The fast food version of bread. It's nice for sandwitches but I'd never give up actual bread for it
I'm French and this video made me cringe so much
Sourdough is a specific kind of bread that uses naturally occurring wild yeast. That's different from bread where yeast is an added ingredient. You don't have bread with added yeast in Germany? That seems hard to believe.
I mean in Europe we've been eating sourdough bread for hundreds of years its always been very popular. A crispy sourdough over any toaste any day
Yeah..... many generations of sourdough pizza and focaccia makers in my family.
My mum unfortunately interrupted the tradition, I've resumed it and passed it down to my son. The percentage of sugar in my blood has sensibly gone down since I only eat sourdough bread, helping me avoid becoming diabetic like many of my relatives.
Bonkers we’ve been eating it since the beginning of our country (the USA) as well, people just don’t understand how bread is made.
@Hernando Malinche yup, just when PB&J made its entry
I really like CNBC content. They straight up summarize the contents of their entire video before the actual content proper starts. Unlike other ones where almost half of the video is just an introduction.
I started my sourdough in 2006. King Arthur flour and my well water in a bowl. I sat the original bowl full of the mixture next to a bowl of juniper berries. It makes great bread.
"Just two ingredients" - yeah but it won't taste very good. You need at least 3 ingredients to make tasty bread: Flour, water and salt. I'd argue that yeast is a fourth ingredient, despite it being freely available in the air.
It's crazy how much salt influences the taste of bread. My mother once forgot to add salt while baking bread and it turned out unedible.
also a bit of milk or eggs are in a lot of breads (which i tend to prefer, tbh)
Rome came before Greece? What a learning experience I’ve had watching this video!
When you have a strong sourdough starter, it can last for a hundred years!! Just keep a little in the fridge until next loaf. Mine is now over a year old and is very strong!
actually sourdough is better because the grain is essentially pre-digested...
mmmm, sounds good
Grew up in the 1960’s San Francisco Bay Area where sourdough bread was ubiquitous. And very tasty!
For sure, but those bread makers - Larraburu & Parisian - have been gone for a long time. Boudin now claims the title, but it just doesn't do it for me. There are newer great breads in the SF area, including sourdoughs, but none are the same as those 60s and 70s ones.
"food adjacent" Good way of putting it and so true. Taking food back to basics - real basics - is wonderful. Just started making my own sourdough and so impressed with it!
As Michael Pollan said "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
When he said "food" he didn't mean food adjacent food like products.
Some Guy vegetables are bad for you because of GMOs and insecticides

So the toxins in x calories of organic vegetables are 1/10 that in the same calories of organic meat - ditto for commercial plants and the animals that feed on them.
It is science, concentration at each trophic level.
great video, highly informative and well organized information. Sourdough allows me to eat bread again. My tummy was so bloated I seemed 4 months pregnant and I'm noticing that many women of all ages have the same bloat bellies. Even the new fashions have pleats and styled to hide tummy bloat. I love it.

I grew up on San Francisco Sourdough.
My oldest brother moved to France after college. One day he asked (in French) for sourdough bread when he was in a bakery.
Well, the French baker through him out of the bakery because he thought my brother was calling his bread "sour"!
Thats because warm countries like France and Italy, have warm conditions for sourdough bread, to not actually be sour. Thats why translated, their starter culture is called just "Levain", while colder countries like Norway, US, Canada, and Britain, would call their starter cultures "sourdough".
He shouldv asked for naturally levained bread maybe.
You know what mimics the symptoms of a gluten allergy almost exactly? Glycophosphate poisoning. American farmers illegally use extra glycophosphate (the pesticide called Round Up) as a desiccant (something to speed drying) in order to expedite harvests.
I'm going to start my starter up again after seeing this .
Me too.
I bake my sourdough at home. It is a very rewarding experience. I prepared my own starter over a couple of months, and I use it to bake a sourdough that I know exactly what I put in it. Organic bread flour, filtered water, and my own starter! You will enjoy it.
The pier in San Francisco has been making amazing sourdough for years. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. 😊
The bread culture in Portugal is amazing and the US should copy it.

Hey CNBC, ancient Greece came before Ancient Rome. Ask anyone in the office that took Latin; that’s what that whole Trojan War & the Aeneid thing was about. #eastcoast
You missed the point completely, he referred to ancient Egypt, 4000 years ago...you get it now?
make your own bread at home and cut it. you don't need to waste 20 minutes watching this. commercial bread has many chemicals. not homemade. Just that!
Wolf A He still said that Rome came before Greece.
I can't believe he made this mistake. What most appalling that most of the people did not pick up on it.
Have been making sourdough bread for over 35 years. I’m still mystified by the process. I’ve scaled down my baking; children gone, husbands illness, but will not ever let my starter go. I have my starter in the freezer, and a backup that I dehydrated. Once in a while I remove from freezer. It continues to give me (and others I bake for on occasion), a most lovely bread!
I love sourdough bread and now that I know how I can be healthier eating it. I will be ordering it exclusively. Thank you.
Its a very thorough video. They just made two tiny mistakes. During fermentation acetic acid is also produced. In addition gluten is not a protein it is a makeup of two proteins glutenin and gliadin that is produced during mixing in the presence of water. So technically flour doesnt have gluten but dough does.
The first time I ate sourdough I thought it was rotten and gone ‘sour’. That’s what happens when you were raised on sweet soft white “bread”.

She probably had a yeast infection.
Keep in mind sour dough bread is never meant to be eaten cold. It's meant to be wrapped in aluminum foil and heated up in the oven, or heated in a similar way like sliced in a toaster oven before eating. When it is heated the sour flavor drops off, or minimizes if it's an unusually sour loaf.
I come from a rich family that ate traditional food and high end ingredients growing up in the Napa Sonoma area. I went to another family thanksgiving and gave them a freshly made sour dough from our baker. They thanked me and then cut into it immediately and promptly complained that the bread was under cooked.
As silly as it sounds, it was a bit of a culture shock for me at that moment. A whole group of people, over 40, and none of them had had "real" bread before. It blew my mind.
@@razzlfraz damn
@@razzlfraz Aluminium foil has nothing to do with "real bread". You think it existed in Ancient Egypt? In Europe, we bought bread from a baker, and it wasn't sourdough. Yet according to your definition, we didn't eat "real bread" because it wasn't sourdough.
@@theMoporter I never said real bread is sourdough. Chill kid.
I had so many questions about this hype, once again, CNBC has answered beautifully, big thank you!
In Colombia local bakeries which are really close to one's home have several varieties of bread made with sourdough.
As an amateur sourdough baker, I celebrate a true, good loaf of bread.
Well done, CNBC.
I’ve been eating homemade sourdough bread daily since 1912 (well...except for the famines during the Wars) so far, with no deleterious effects.
I was an exchange student in the US in 2009 and one of the worst things was the total lack of good bread.
I think the reason for the decline is that most bread is absolute crap made in 30 minutes or less. Real bread takes days to make and is worth the extra price.
Also commercial bread is wrapped and transit takes a while
A baker sells today's bread.
@array s Good point.
I love sourdough as a kid I remember I used to love this one restaurant just because I loved their bread.
If you go away for several months, you can freeze your starter. It's okay to do this for several months even.
I was raised on this type bread, have always loved it, tastes better than any other.
My mom recently gave me her old bread maker and it’s amazing! I don’t gave as much time so it’s been really useful, healthy and cheaper😊

I guess next a Kardashian will try to trademark the word "sourdough".
In Sicily they make sourdough with hard wheat. The bread is big, round and a bit flat. The air pockets look nice and the slices are perfect for bruschetta. Many families use a very old sourdough which they got from their parents or relatives.
A good thing to use is some freshly made juice (for example made with ripe peaches) to feed and pamper the bacteria. ;)
Spelt is also great for sour dough.

for what I know the average person do not have iron, magnesium or zynk deficiency, plus, is the absorbed amount variation relevant?
how does the microorganisms help the gut health? because I want to underline that baking kills them (so it's not the same as eating uncooked yogurt)
and have a conscience and do not make statements that could cause serious health hazard to diabetics, *unmanaged diabetes can lead to diabetic coma* , and there's no way that bread is going to rise glicemy like food that is poor in sugar and carbohydrates, bread is alway gonna rise glicemy more because it's rich in carbohydrates. it's the carbohydrates that needs to be reduced to rise glicemy slower

Same here,, but have interest, though I wasn't even remotely thinking or searching for bread recipes. .
Excellent documentary. I enjoy eating and baking sourdough. It took a bit of trial and error but now I have it mastered. Scoring the dough before baking is an added art which can yield fun an surprising results. I've also had great success making a similar bread using homemade wild yeast water.

the wild yeasts (plural) are already in the flour. Wild yeasts are on pretty much everything.
The "sour-dough hotels" are hilarious. Your starter is fine in the fridge for up to 2 weeks after feeding (can take a few days of feeding to fully revive though) and indefinitely in the freezer.
I enjoyed the history and discussion of how it is better for people with diabetes and gluten sensitivities. Wish there was a little more info on "Sourfaux" and how to identify it.

Yes, that combined with an alarming amount of processed sugars and starches in our packaged food habit. When I grew up we didn't get chips or chocolate or white toast - that was reserved for special occasions, just like that chunk of meat was reserved for Sunday. Today we eat as if Sunday, Christmas and Birthday all come together 365 days a year - no wonder we get all the health issues that in the middle ages were attributed to the rich.

It certainly is better for you!

best thing about using whole wheat for it is that the yeast break down all those nutrients in the whole wheat flour you wouldn't get with normal flour, making it even healthier
