I LOVE Boudoin's San Francisco sourdough, and even Parisian is pretty tasty. I believe that only sourdough is made without any sugar or shortening. (Most breads use sugar for the yeasties and some add shortening.) Once you have your starter dough, what's next? Is it true that you can only successfully make sourdough bread in a few geographic regions? Patricia Collins hplabs
