Lisa Mucullogh-Roark is the founder of Topanga Grain Co.. located in Los Angeles, CA. She is a conscious educator, purveyor, and lover of all things "true food bread" and baking the way nature intended.
Bread as a food has been considered the great sustainer since the beginning of civilzation and has been key to human survival cross culturally. In some faiths, bread has been considered the nourishment from God. We can find references and the symbolism of bread in the Book of Exodus when the Israelites where freed from slavery in Egypt - as they had no time to make leavened bread, they made flatbread - which came to represent the celebration of Passover in the Jewish tradition and was the bread which Jesus "broke" and utilized in The Last Supper with his disciples. Other familiar religious references can be found in Christianity through the Lord's Prayer as bread being the spiritual manna or sustenance from Heaven: "Give us this daily bread" and in Jesus' teachings when he said, "I am the bread of life."
Daily bread as a food, per references in the Old and New Testament can be seen as symbolic of our discipline, our faithfulness, the value of community, and of receiving Divine supernatural provision. Sourdough bread, when made like our ancestors did and as many integruous bakers do today, can serve as great nutritional sustainers and the food of life.
In this episode, we discuss such topics as: the nature and make-up of true sourdough, ancient grains and their value, the process of self-milling and properly storing wheat, a history on the commercialization and hybridization of wheat and the increase in digestive diseases, gluten intolerance, etc., understanding the types of flour, simple steps to making your own sourdough starter, and so much more.
