The Klondike
Gold Rush made Sourdough bread famous, as it was the most popular and
practical food for the pioneer and prospector. As prospectors could not rely on purchasing yeast, they learned
to make a sourdough starter with wild yeasts the winds would carry by. Using only part of the starter and adding
flour and water, they would make a batter for bread and other baked
items. More flour and water would be
added to the sourdough pot that contained the remaining starter to keep it
going. This made sourdough a
continuous food source. Prospectors
guarded their sourdough pot fiercely and kept it warm, in order to keep the
starter alive. Many went as far as
sleeping with it close to their body during freezing weather and wearing a
bit of starter in a pouch around their neck.
And thus, Alaskan gold miners and prospectors became known as
“Sourdoughs”. Grab yourself
a piece of REAL authentic sourdough at the Alaskan Sourdough Bakery. We sell loaves, rounds, baguettes, and
rolls. Or enjoy a sandwich made with
our freshly baked-on-the-pier sourdough bread. We also feature a selection of fresh soups and salads, in
addition to our selection of pastries.
On weekends, we offer special breakfast selections, including
sourdough waffles and pancakes. For more
