Pre-Ferment
Pre-Ferment is a live fermented dough culture used as a natural leaven in breads and other baked goods, particularly associated with European and artisanal baking traditions. It’s primarily a carbohydrate-rich pre-ferment but also supplies a small amount of protein (5g per 100g) and minerals like selenium and manganese. Because it’s a naturally fermented product, it can improve flour digestibility and contribute mild organic acids that influence flavor and may reduce bread’s glycemic response compared with breads made with only commercial yeast; it’s not a significant source of antioxidants or carotenoids.
