Sourdough

Sourdough was a type of bread from the Pirate Isles, and other coastal sites around the Sea of Fallen Stars. It was available for purchase in Faerûn through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.

Description
Sourdough was made by setting aside part of a previous batch of dough to leaven the next batch. The resulting bread had a heavy consistency and a hard crust.

A loaf of sourdough could also be hollowed out and used as a bowl in feasts.

History
Sourdough bread originated in the Pirate Isles but rapidly gained popularity in the Sword Coast and the Western Heartlands in the 15 century DR. As of that time, the town of Ayakar in Turmish had become famous for its sourdough production.
