Surdegsbröd med rosmarin och vitlök

That crust crackles like no grocery store loaf I've tried, and the rosemary-garlic scent fills the whole kitchen the second I slice it open. The wild yeast tang is there but mellow, and the crumb stays moist for days, which never happens with bread from the bakery aisle.

The tang from the wild yeast is unmistakable, and the probiotic tang is still alive even a few days in. I sliced it thin and toasted it for lunch, and the fiber-rich bran keeps it from going soggy. Honestly, this is the closest I’ve come to bakery bread at home.

The wild yeast fermentation really comes through—you can taste that depth you just don’t get from quick breads. The inside stays moist with a nice chew, and the rosemary garlic is balanced, not overpowering. It took me back to the bakery bread I grew up on.
