The Legend of Nyah: How a Mom's 'Time Out' Birthed Sourdough"

The Breaking Bread Podcast, hosted by Rachel Parker, takes listeners on a whimsical journey through time, tracing the origins of sourdough bread, all the way back to Ancient Africa. The story revolves around Nyah, a resourceful woman responsible for feeding her family. In her absence one day, the porridge she left behind naturally ferments and results in lighter, fluffier and more delicious bread upon baking. This accidental discovery is narrated as the birth of sourdough bread. The podcast wraps up by inviting listeners to become part of the baking community, share their baking stories and find more information about baking on their blog and YouTube channel.
