The primal culture of sharing. Much has been written in recent years about the most ancient, the only true, the real way to bake bread – with homemade sourdough. Sourdough bread is a trend from California to Kaltenkirchen, from Zurich to Zabriskie Point. The hipster does it, the health-conscious self-sufficiency enthusiast does it, and the burnout-prone manager does it. However, baking bread with sourdough is more than just a lifestyle hobby. It can change our lives, our self-understanding, our worldview, and our values. Tangible, edible, renewable happiness. Nothing teaches us more about relationships and love than sourdough. This highly sensitive companion makes us more mindful, patient, humble, caring, loving, orderly, reliable, generous, and happier. It makes our lives more meaningful, flavorful, and sociable.
