Freshly baked. All natural. Hand crafted.
Adding to the benefits of sour-dough, Rye is high in fibre and is power packed with nutrients. It contains a higher level of pentosans (a complex sugar) that absorb and retain water even after baking – making the breads more moist.
Ingredients: A mixture of Wheat Flour, Water, Rye Flour, Levain, Sunflower Oil, Sugar, Salt, Malt Yeast. A long, slow ferment helps to create a loaf with a tasty tangy flavor, chewy texture and crisp, crackly crust.
- High level of enzymes that attract a variety of yeasts
- Ability to retain moisture in a way that is far greater than any other flour.
