Sourdough Bread.
Posted: October 11th, 2019, 7:07 am
I love the stuff, not anything that you might buy in any supermarket that might be labelled sourdough but something baked in a local bakery that has a heft and crunch and chewiness that is delicious and I am hooked on the stuff.
OK it costs between 3 and 4 pounds a loaf but that is the realistic cost of making and baking something by hand in small batches using natural yeasts that are left for a day to ferment the dough and a price I am prepared to pay.
Just sliced thickly with a generous smearing of peanut butter (100% peanuts NO palm oil or added sugar) or dipped in a fresh grassy extra virgin olive oil or cold pressed hemp oil or toasted with a rub a garlic and thickly sliced heritage tomatoes, a meal in itself.
Here is a great article on the type of thing I mean.

I may be preaching to the converted but I would recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it to seek out the proper stuff and try it...you will be hooked like me. Even my dog is hooked, as soon as the bread knife starts slicing through the crunchy crust of a new loaf she comes running in to sit patiently by my feet waiting for any small morsel...my daughter calls it dog crack!
