“Sourdough bread should have just water, salt, wild yeast and flour as the ingredients, but even products claiming to be sourdough in supermarkets are often in fact ‘sourfaux’, with up to fifteen ingredients, including palm oil and commercial yeast”

“[Cottonseed] oil contained a toxin called gossypol, which protects the plant from insects but also leads to reduced fertility in men, as well as a number of other impurities that made it taste foul. The solution to these problems was a process now known as RBD, whereby oils are refined, bleached and deodorised”

Pedro I went through an obsessive sourdough nightmare about 18 months ago, had my starter (treated it like my 6th child), got some gear (baskets and various tools) on-line. Turned out to be an absolute disaster - I'd like to blame my crappy oven, but I think it could've been me. Anyway - I gave up in the end. Shame, because sourdough bread is magic.

I don’t know what went wrong, Mr President, but according to my past experience as a professional baker, you should not treat the dough as a child, but as a punching bag instead. If your arms are not aching a lot, it means it’s not ready to go to the oven (unless you’re using an electric device 😆).I’ve had a lot of different kinds of bread, even in different countries and, so far, none could beat the Portuguese sourdough. Just saying! 😋

That’s also very true - they’re called pastel de nata. 😋
