Stopped by that new bakery on 5th Street and their sourdough was weirdly sweet

I mean, it tasted almost like they added sugar or honey to the starter, which threw off the whole tangy flavor. Has anyone else tried it or know why they'd do that?

I always thought sourdough had to be tangy, but maybe some people just prefer it sweeter?

Yeah it totally depends on the starter and how long you ferment it. A shorter proof gives a milder, almost sweet flavor.
