Sourdough Bread

I am grateful to Michael Pollan - author of Cooked - for inspiring me to experiment with naturally fermented bread. More and more, I am finding that people with minor to moderate sensitivities to gluten thrive on real sourdough bread; it seems that natural fermentation of gluten renders it less problematic for many.

Those with Celiac are still prudent to avoid gluten, fermented or not, but for the rest, it seems that bread can be a a part of a balanced diet.

If you have a recipe for sourdough bread that you don't mind sharing with the world, please consider doing so in the comments section below? Thanks so much.
