NO.1 WHITE SOURDOUGH BREAD

Loved for its distinctive chewy texture and beautifully tangy flavour, White Sourdough Bread from our No.1 range is made using flour milled from British wheat and a starter that is at least 20 years old. Artisan bakers combine these with water and a little salt – and absolutely nothing else. In fact, the process is as ingeniously simple today as when the first loaves of sourdough were produced back in ancient times.

THE BEST INGREDIENTS

The organic flour used in our sourdough comes from Shipton Mill in the Cotswolds, where the grain is harvested at just the right time before being milled, using traditional techniques.

REAL BREAD

What makes No.1 White Sourdough Bread even more special is that our bakers take at least 36 hours to produce each loaf – significantly longer than usual. This allows the starter to develop slowly, and the dough to take its signature shape. The bread is then baked in stone-floored ovens, just as it’s always been.

ENJOY OUR SOURDOUGH

Enjoy its crisp crust and satisfying crumb in all kinds of dishes. For a great-tasting vegetarian snack, toast the bread then top with soft cheese, thinly sliced cooked beetroot, wilted kale and quick-pickled radishes. Finish with a splash of olive oil and a few nigella seeds. Alternatively, for a winning breakfast, toast the bread, spread with a little butter and serve with poached eggs. Or use it to take toasties to the next level… it’s irresistible with melting cheese and chilli in this recipe.
