Sourdough is an ancient method of preparing dough that has been used for centuries in Russian cuisine. It replaces store-bought yeast, giving baked goods a natural aroma and lightness. This recipe uses raisins to initiate the natural fermentation process, turning water and flour into a living mass rich in beneficial microorganisms. The finished sourdough has a subtle tangy flavor and a light bread aroma. It makes the dough airy and rich, while the baked goods remain fragrant and fresh for a long time. It can be used to make bread, pancakes, pies, and other homemade pastries. Over time, it becomes stronger and its flavor gains depth and richness. This traditional Russian technology offers a taste that cannot be replicated in industrial production.
