Fresh-baked bread is quite a treat, and sourdough happens to be a favorite among our real estate agents. It's slightly tangy and the perfect combination of soft and crispy. Most breads require yeast to rise, but sourdough is made with a live fermented culture that works as a natural leavening agent. Some believe it was first created by the Egyptians in 1500 BC. Today, a full month is dedicated to celebrating all the great things about Sourdough. To make the most out of Sourdough September, we recommend grabbing a loaf at one of these Baltimore bakeries.
