Sourdough: Simple And Sophisticated

It’s hard to believe that something so simple can be so good. Our sourdough bread is made with just a few ingredients – unbleached flour, rye flour, water, yeast, and salt. That’s it. No preservatives. No food coloring. No magic. Just pure, uncomplicated items that you can find in your pantry. And they work together to create something that is so much more than the sum of its parts. After we put together the dough, we knead it with love, let it rise, then place it in the oven. Can we just say something one more time? That’s it. It’s so easy, so simple, and so good.
We make a lot of different sourdough breads to accommodate a variety of needs. We have a sourdough free-form loaf, pan bread, round, boule, and roll. There’s also one of the most popular items – the rustic sourdough baguette. Oh man is it good. Especially hot out of the oven. Our rustic baguette has a fantastic thick, hearty, golden brown crust that’s crunchy, substantial, and satisfying. And the dough – words cannot do it justice. It’s moist, soft, chewy, and just so…doughy. We could eat the crust or the dough by itself for the rest of our lives. The two of them together? We’re pretty sure we’re in heaven. As you savor each morsel, the starch breaks down into sugar, imparting a sweetness that counterbalances the sourness of the bread – what a sophisticated combination.
This bread is out of this world on its own with just a pat of butter or a drizzle of garlic. But, if you’d like it to take on a different role, it can do that too. Step up your Thanksgiving this year – throw out your generic, pre-packaged, preservative-filled stuffing mix, and cook up this unforgettable Mushroom Sourdough Bread Stuffing. It’s worth the extra effort – we promise.
This bread is versatile, and we’ll prove it to you. Check out the following recipes we’ve found online from chefs and fellow foodies. The possibilities are endless.
