Sourdough Insights

Understanding the acidity of your sourdough is key to mastering its flavor, fermentation speed, and overall health. In this video, you’ll learn the difference between pH (which measures the strength of the acids) and TTA – Total Titratable Acidity (which measures the total amount of acid present). We’ll show you how to use a pH meter and walk you through the lab-style process of titration to calculate TTA. Whether you're a curious home baker or a professional, this is essential knowledge for controlling sourness and consistency in your bread.
