GLOUCESTER SOURDOUGH - £3.00
100% Wheat: mainly white sourdough bread made using our wheat sourdough starter, salt, flour and water. Some stoneground wholewheat flour is added for extra taste. No additional yeast has been added. 800g loaf only.
MALTED ROSEMARY SOURDOUGH - £3.00
This is the Gloucester Soughdough's wholemeal cousin. This has a darker crumb than the Gloucester Sourdough due to the addition of the malted flour and a higher level of wholemeal present in the dough itself. We add some rosemary to offset the malty, nuttiness and tang to the bread. As with the Gloucester Sourdough there is an open crumb structure.
100% RYE SOURDOUGH - £3.00
Made to a Swedish Recipe this Rye Loaf contains only rye flour, water and salt and a bit of oomph from our rye sourdough starter. The bread has a strong, tangy taste and due to the lower gluten content of rye flour it should be more digestible than breads made from wheat.
SPROUTED WHEAT AND EINKORN - £3.00
We take a heritage wheat and soak this until it sprouts to add additional flavour and nutrition to the loaf. This is then added to einkorn flour (the earliest form of cultivated wheat, in recorded use for around 10,000 years by humans), some malted flour (flour made from sprouted wheat which is then dried, and ground) and some modern flour to give a bit of structure to the bread to tell the whole story of wheat in one tasty bundle.
