Be Well-Bred in Bread: “Is Sourdough Enough” at the Ocean County Library LBI Branch

SURF CITY – The health benefits of sourdough bread attest to its popularity. But how can you be sure that the loaf you’re buying is the real thing? Join internationally renowned artisan baker Rafael Morillo for “Is Sourdough Enough?” at the Ocean County Library Long Beach Island Branch, 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Sourdough bread is often cited for its digestive advantages, high B-vitamin count, low gluten and glycemic content and support of healthy joints and skin. However, broad regulatory boundaries mean variable levels of quality and nutritional value.

Rafael Morillo, technical baker for trade-based MKT Eatery and Agnello’s Café in Manahawkin, Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light, will help you to be a better-informed consumer, penetrate label hyperbole and get sourdough’s full nutritional advantages.

Through Rafael’s combination of science and craft, you’ll become aware of the sourdough baking method’s benefits and also of significant points to keep in mind when choosing bread for yourself and your family.
