How we do it.
The sourdoughs are a minimum three day process and the yeasted are minimum two days. This long ferment results in a much chewier crumb (the way bread used to be when men could take a chunk with some cheese into the fields with them and it would sustain them throughout the day). This process also results in a darker crust; not because it's burnt but because the ferment allows the natural sugars in the grains to caramelise. We work to develop our crust further so that the natural flavour is concentrated. All of this results in a bread that is naturally lower GI.
Please note that 'flour' means a mixture of unbleached white and wholemeal mainly, with some rye, and/or maize and kamut. (Sorry, don’t want to give the exact mix as that’s a secret!)
So now, why not see our range of breads, or see what inspires us to do it. Our whole loaves start from £2.50. Not cheap but we think the quality and effort are worth it, and hope you do too!
