Caloric content of sourdough vs other french breads
I know nothing about bread or baking, although I wish I did. I accidentally bought a sourdough loaf at the store for my mom's pizza burgers. She usually gets a french bread that is super airy and crumbly, a bread that's almost like a crispy crust with not much inside. The sourdough felt super dense and thick. I am wondering if sourdough has a lot more calories than most french breads? I tried to break it apart for birds or anything that would take it and it was so stretchy it almost wouldn't tear. Even in the water the bread stuck together and never came apart. I wondered how it would even digest.

than in Sourdough if you use the same ingredients and weigh out your portion. In terms of volume, there will be more of the French bread because it is lighter than the sourdough but that also depends on how it was made. I have made some Sourdough breads that were pretty light.
As to digestion, it is said that sourdough is better for your gut because of the action of the "wee beasties" on the grain.
