So, what is hapankulttuuri?

Hapankulttuuri, also known as sourdough starter, is a traditional Finnish fermented dough used to make various baked goods. It is made by mixing flour and water, then allowing natural yeasts and bacteria to develop over several days. The resulting mixture is tangy, sour, and slightly bubbly, which gives baked goods made with hapankulttuuri a distinctive flavor and texture. It is a natural leavening agent that can be used in place of commercial yeast, and is prized for its health benefits and ability to enhance the nutritional profile of bread.
