    What is the difference between sourdough and yeast bread?

    Sourdough uses wild yeast + lactobacillus from a fermented starter (slow rise, tangy, complex flavor, longer-keeping). Yeast bread uses commercial yeast (faster rise, neutral flavor, shorter-keeping). Sourdough takes 4-24 hours total; yeast bread 2-4 hours. Both delicious but different traditions.

    Why we cite it here: Sourdough culture + starter science
