Overproofing occurs when the yeast becomes active and starts producing alcohol. It smells like a mixture of vinegar and alcohol.

Why does my sourdough smell like alcohol?

Sourdough breads are made from natural yeasts and bacteria that ferment the dough during the rising period. Sourdough breads are not only delicious but also nutritious. However, if left uncorrected, the sourdough yeast produces carbon dioxide gas CO2 as well as ethanol alcohol. Ethanol is produced when the yeast metabolizes sugars into CO2 and ethanol. In addition, the presence of alcohol in the dough gives off a strong alcoholic aroma. To avoid this problem, try adding 1/4 cup of sugar to every 2 cups of flour. This will inhibit the production of ethanol and reduce the alcohol content in the dough.

Why does my bread smell acidic?

Yes, it is normal for bread dough to have a slight sour odor. This is because the dough contains naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria LAB that produce acetic acid as part of the fermentation process. LAB are present in many types of fermented foods such as yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, beer, wine, cider, and vinegar. These bacteria help give these foods their distinctive flavors. Bread dough is usually mixed with salt and flour to slow down the fermentation process. Salt inhibits the growth of other microorganisms, allowing the LAB to multiply rapidly.

If you notice that your bread smells acidic, it could mean that your yeast is not working properly. Yeast is responsible for making bread rise. It is usually found in packets or jars. A packet contains about 1 teaspoon of yeast. To activate the yeast, you simply sprinkle the yeast into warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, mix the yeast into flour until the mixture looks like dough. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. After resting, knead the dough until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled in volume. Punch down the dough and shape it into loaves. Bake according to the recipe instructions.
