Homemade Sourdough Bread

Sourdough is a great healthy bread option. However, it requires more work than we would normally suggest – we like simple recipes! But recently we have received requests for a GOLO approved version so here you go! Sourdough bread uses a starter instead of traditional yeast to rise.
