Highlights

As a 5th generation Master Baker I have always had an interest in baking inspired both by my father and grandfather and spent many happy years working for them both as a child and qualified as a master baker at Brooklands college Weybridge in the 90’s. I have recently rekindled the love of making bread being disheartened by the low quality breads (and things they put into them) that you get from the supermarkets and the revival of sourdough breads. As so many people have been commenting on the great taste and freshness of my sough dough bread I am now sharing this with people to hopefully get more and more people to make their own.

Sourdough bread is made by the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. Sourdough bread has a more sour taste and better inherent keeping qualities than breads made with baker’s yeast, due to the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli.

The 150g of starter is made using Shipton Mills Organic flour and supplied in a vacuum-packed pouch (not a glass jar). Please fed it upon arrival and keep this refrigerated until ready to use. It will keep indefinitely in a fridge, if fed well.
The finished Sourdough loaves have a moist crumb, crispy crust and will keep for several days or even longer in a fridge. It is fed using organic flour and vegan-friendly.

I will send instructions both for feeding as well as making bread from this too
feel free to follow me, get other recipe ideas and upload your creations to fb.me/thesourdoughman

Please note this is not suitable for people with wheat or gluten allergies as Organic bread flour is used
