Batard vs. Boule
What is the difference?
As you can see the difference is simply shape and size! A Batard is a large oval shape that will give you more even sized slices for toast or sandwiches. The boule is a smaller ball shape, ideal for a smaller crowd or to hollow and fill with brie or dip!
Benefits of Sourdough Bread
Sourdough bread is a type of bread that is made by fermenting flour and water with wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria. It has a tangy flavor and a chewy texture. Sourdough bread has several benefits compared to regular bread, such as:
- It is richer in nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, folate, and niacin12. The fermentation process makes these nutrients more available for your body to absorb3.
- It has a lower glycemic index, which means it does not spike your blood sugar as much as regular bread4. This can help you manage your blood sugar levels and prevent diabetes complications.
- It contains lower amounts of gluten, which may make it easier to digest for some people who are sensitive to gluten. The fermentation process breaks down some of the gluten proteins and reduces the anti-nutrients that can interfere with digestion.
- It supports your gut health, as it contains prebiotics and probiotics that feed the beneficial bacteria in your intestines. This can improve your immune system, mood, and overall well-being.
