Can You Freeze Sourdough Starter: Preserving the Tangy Goodness
Freezing sourdough starter is a technique used to preserve the active culture of wild yeast and LAB (lactic acid bacteria) found in sourdough. Sourdough starter, a key ingredient in sourdough bread, contributes a distinct tangy flavor and chewy texture. Its preservation through freezing allows bakers to maintain a consistent supply of active starter, ensuring the continuity of their sourdough baking endeavors.
