Country Bread | Sourdough

Our Sourdough Country Bread is made using whole grain flour and the most natural and authentic method. A loaf with a thick, golden crust. Well-suited with meats and soft cheeses, as well as delicacies such as foie gras or salmon. The size of the slices makes it a good bread for sandwiches.

Ingredients: wheat flour, levain (flour, water), water, and salt.

We recommend keeping your bread uncovered on your counter rather than in the fridge or a plastic bag. We place our loaves cut side down, so that the crumb isn't exposed to air, while the crust slowly stales.* In a sealed plastic bag, the crust will soften, as the moisture from the bread has nowhere to go, eventually leading to a moldy loaf.

If you don't expect to finish your loaf before it stales, freeze it in a plastic bag. Slice it first, to make toasting ever more convenient.

Revive your stale loaf in the oven at 175°F for 15-20 minutes.

*Technical note: Staling has nothing to due with water loss, as bread actually only loses about 1% of water content as it ages. Rather, the gelatinized starch molecules form into crystalline regions, causing a tightening effect on the bread. By reheating it, you can temporarily disrupt the less stable regions of the chains comprising the starch molecules.
