So, why would you want to use sourdough starter instead of yeast? For one, it gives your baked goods a unique, tangy flavor that's hard to replicate with commercial yeast. Plus, it's a great option for those with sensitivities or intolerances to yeast - and it's also a more sustainable choice, since you can create and maintain your own starter at home.
But here's the thing: sourdough starter isn't a direct substitute for yeast in every recipe. Because it's a slower-rising agent, you'll need to adjust your recipes and baking times to get the best results. And that's where the fun begins - experimenting with new recipes and techniques to get the most out of your sourdough starter!
