      Homemade sourdough bread not only provides great flavor and texture but also offers health benefits due to its natural fermentation process. Baking at home lets you control the quality of ingredients, avoiding preservatives and additives found in store-bought bread. With coconut flour, this bread is a nutritious choice, rich in protein and essential minerals like calcium. Himalayan pink salt adds a natural touch of minerals, enhancing the bread’s taste.
