At a glance
Summary
This sourdough bread is made with enriched wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast, which are relatively simple ingredients for a processed bread. However, the use of enriched flour indicates a moderate level of processing, and the bread lacks whole grains or additional fiber sources. While it avoids harmful additives like high-fructose corn syrup or artificial preservatives, the processing level limits its score.
