Difference between sourdough bread and regular bread

Different ingredients, different taste, etc.

Differences in ingredients: the ingredients of sourdough bread usually include flour, water, yeast, salt and sourdough starter, while the ingredients of regular bread usually include flour, water, yeast and salt. Sourdough leavening agents are involved in the leavening process during the making of sourdough bread, while regular bread does not have this step.

Differences in texture: Sourdough breads usually have a richer texture than regular breads because the addition of the sourdough starter allows the bread to produce more acidity and flavor substances during the fermentation process. In addition, sourdough bread has a softer and more delicate texture.
