44 hr Sourdough

Proof that the slower the dough, the better the bread. Our slowest fermented loaves are sourdoughs which are painstakingly fermented in 3 stages for a total of 44 hours to give sensational flavour, our trademark chewy bite and fantastic natural shelf life. 44hr Walnut Sourdough new44 hour fermented Walnut Sourdough (above).  A blend of white & wholemeal flour, and roasted Organic Walnuts. Great with all types of cheese, but best with a subtle Brie to allow the walnut to come through. Makes bloody gorgeous scrambled eggs on toast with a bit of freshly ground black pepper.  44hr Hazelnut & Raisin44hr fermented Hazelnut & Raisin Sourdough (above) - a nutty, sweet & savoury treat. Based on a half-rye sourdough, this fella is bursting with natural flavour. Slice thinly, toast lightly and smother on the real Welsh butter. 44hr White Sourdough44hr fermented White Sourdough (above)- open crumb, chewy texture, balanced sourness. 44hr 100% Rye Sourdough44hour fermented 100% Rye Sourdough (above)- dense & chewy, dark & intense flavour. Made without wheat and lower in gluten than our white loaves, this is a bit hardcore for newcomers but better than every other 100% rye sourdough we've ever tasted.    44hrSpelt Sourdough44hr fermented 100% Spelt Sourdough (above)- nutty and earthy, good sour kick. Made with mostly stoneground Organic wholemeal spelt flour (with some Organic white spelt flour to lighten it slightly) this beauty won Silver at the 2010-2011 True Taste awards.
