Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: 'sourdough' describes the type of 'bread', so a learner who knows 'sourdough' (fermented starter/tangy bread) and 'bread' can immediately infer 'bread made with a sourdough starter'. This modifier+noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, making the meaning transparent.
Etymology
The name sourdough bread comes from old bakers who kept a bit of dough called a 'starter' that gave a sour taste because of wild yeast and tiny bacteria. That 'starter' made the bread tangy, so today sourdough bread means bread made with that tangy starter.
