but it's not better than other breads.
It is though, unless you compare with slow fermented yeast based breads of course :)
kboy-
Its like saying steel bikes are better than alu. They're just different, and you can achieve different things with them. Lots of places also yeast their sourdough.
I tend to prefer yeasted breads for sandwiches as a softer and more uniform crumb with smaller holes works better. For a slice of toast with lashings of butter to dip in soup, I want something more robust.
There's also many different kinds of pizza, there's never going to be one singular method that is best for all of them!

This I disagree with.
BUT
I do think the world has gone sourdough mad and seemingly looking down on or ignoring a huge variety of awesome yeast based breads. Sourdough is epic, but it's not better than other breads.
It's a bit like how obsessed people have become with IPAs or how loads of people look down on lager.
