What is pectin?
Pectin is a naturally occurring thickener and stabilizer, helping jams, jellies, and fruit preserves set. Scientifically speaking, it’s a soluble fiber (a.k.a. a type of polysaccharide) found in the cell walls of most fruits and vegetables. “When heated with sugar and acid, pectin forms a kind of mesh that traps liquid,” says Camilla Wynne, author of Jam Bake. “As it cools, it sets and suspends pieces of fruit.”

Sourdough relies on a balance between yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for its rise and flavor.

This symbiotic relationship is crucial: the yeast creates gas, and the bacteria create the signature tang and acidic environment.
