The Loaf - Sourdough With Olives 400G

Not sour, just very very tasty! Our sour dough range is fast becoming the most popular selection of breads that we produce. Sour dough bread is made using a fermenting culture of flour and water that encourages wild yeasts that are in the flour and the air to grow and thrive. Every day we feed this culture or 'leaven' and take a bit off it to make that day's bread. As there is no cultivated baker's yeast in the bread, people with an intolerance to normal bread sometimes find they can eat sour doughs without the same problems.
Our sour dough range includes plain loaves and then loaves flavoured with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts and raisins, walnuts and apricots and five grains. All of these breads are hand moulded and are baked on the floor of the oven, loaded and unloaded using a baker's peel. Dunk the olive or sundried tomato loaves in olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple starter, the walnut and raisin or walnut and apricot is perfect with cheese and pickles and the plain sour doughs make the tastiest toasted sandwiches imaginable.
