If sourdough is a bit dense and hardcore for you, these 18hr fermented lovelies have a sweeter flavour and a softer more open texture (but shorter shelf life) than our 44 hr loaves.
Our 18 hour loaves are fermented using the authentic overnight Biga ["Bee-ga"] ferment, a sloppy mix of flour, water and yeast which turns into a bubbling buttery delight by the following morning
18hr Organic Ciabatta - our version of the classic Italian loaf, made with an 18hr fermented Biga for a deeper more complex flavour than most ciabatta.
18hr fermented Organic Rustic Rolls (below). We make these lovely chunks of Italian rolls in 3 different types - white, half-rye and wholemeal. All make smashing Posh Burgers or filled rolls. Perfect for Summer barbies and picnics. Even if it rains...
18hr fermented Integrale (below). Our Italian wholemeal blend uses 80% wholemeal flour and 20% white flour for most of the goodness of wholemeal but without the hard work texture. Hooked on white bread but want to give it up? This is the loaf for you.
18hr fermented Segale (below). Our Italian half-rye loaf is Biga-fermented and mixed with extra virgin olive oil to give a rich buttery flavour and a slightly sweet nutty taste. Wonky appearance because that's just how they come out.
Oliva Ciabatta (below)- not just another olive loaf. The base dough is based on our signature Segale loaf and we add the very best Organic Kalamata olives late in the mixing stage to allow the olives to blend through the whole dough. Great with hummus and works really well with risotto.
18hr fermented Biga [“Bee-ga”]- below, is named after the ferment that gives ciabatta its distinctive flavour. In the first 16 hours it develops its lovely rich buttery taste, and in the final 2 hours, folding the dough 3 times gives it a soft, light, open texture.
Pomodoro Ciabatta (below) - using the same dough as our Biga loaf, we add chopped Organic sun-dried tomatoes and shape by hand for a loaf that's perfect for nibbles and dips. Great warmed for 5 minutes, and then dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
