San Francisco Sourdough by tall73

My aunt lived in San Francisco at one time and we enjoyed the food when we visited. One of the foods that San Francisco is known for was new to me--sourdough bread. This type of bread is made in other places as well but the climate is suited for the making of it, and the strong sour flavor is often more pronounced in the San Francisco style. I remember one time my brother and I split a loaf of sourdough bread and ate it as we crossed the Golden Gate bridge on foot. Fun times!

@Hailsss I think I painted this at the wrong time. This is a low carb day for me!
@pinkcupid no, sourdough is not actually moldy. In fact, it is mold resistant, due to fermentation. The white you see is not mold but a coating of flour.

quote------Sourdough bread resists mold, unlike conventionally leavened bread. Now scientists show why. During sourdough production, bacteria convert the linoleic acid in bread flour to a compound that has powerful antifungal activity.

And it has a number of other benefits:

quote-----Raw sourdough is home to the same bacteria that are in yogurt, Lactobacilli, which consumes the flour in the same way as yeast, breaking down some of the gluten proteins while the bread rises. Because of this, some people who struggle to digest gluten find that they can tolerate sourdough bread.
Fermentation helps lower the bread’s phytic-acid content, explains Lori Nedescu, a registered dietitian and professional cyclist. Phytic acid is an antinutrient that inhibits the body’s ability to absorb minerals by bonding to them, and it’s present in most flours. Ultrarunner and registered dietitian Kylee Van Horn explains that phytic acid binds to iron, zinc, and calcium, which can be a concern for those eating a lot of seeds, grains, and legumes at each meal.

Research also shows that the carbohydrates in sourdough digest slower, which means you won’t get a blood-sugar spike or the subsequent crash.

Looks tasty! idk if its as 'soft' as the colors or is it actually has crispy texture?

@Acchan it can be somewhat chewy on the inside, and often has crispy sections on the outside crust due to the way you prepare it.
As to not having enough hard lines in the painting....that is all of my paintings. Still working on that.

Amazing!! Looks so real. And its painted on android device?

@Gray_GBC Yes, in this case a Stylo 5. It has an integrated stylus. It works a lot like the 3ds, since the Androlid verison has the same brushes. Dome Android devices such as the Samsung Note line also have pressure sensitivity, but I do not on mine.

Didn't see that coming! (saw @Acchan winning for that epic scene).
I am excited for this as it may spur my children to do more digital painting, as they had won previously, but I had not. One will now have to try to get the lead!

@CookieBrookie886809 Wow every morning? Do you toast it?
I am now a former bread eater, though I love the stuff. I suppose I had to cut back on carbs at some point.
In college the local supermarket had cheap bread that they made and sold three loaves for a dollar (eventually lowered to two for inflation). Sometimes I would walk there to get groceries and eat a loaf of bread on the way home!
