This good-for-your-gut fermented product is easy to make and keep on hand.
Making your own bread has a plentitude of health benefits and it’s easier than you may think. The first step is creating a starter, which takes just minutes to whip up, but 12 days of patience while it ferments. “This mixture is alive with natural yeast,” says Katzie Guy-Hamilton, director of food and beverage at Equinox. She created this recipe for her book, Clean Enough, available in 2019. You can use your starter in various homemade bread products, including this focaccia recipe.
