What exactly is this smelly thing? The way to start a sourdough and how to maintain it, how it helps in bread-making, other ways to make the bread rise in comparison with sourdough, and its benefits for our health.

A mystical and purifying procedure. We experiment discussing the little secrets of good kneading and shaping, which boost the rising of our bread.
