Organic Sourdough Baguette
What it is
This is a long, thin loaf of bread made with organic flour and leavened using a sourdough starter. The sourdough process involves natural fermentation, which gives the bread a distinctive tangy flavor and a chewy texture. The crust is typically crisp and golden brown, while the interior crumb is airy and slightly moist. It is a classic French-style bread, baked to a traditional shape.

To best enjoy its crisp crust and soft interior, this baguette is often served at room temperature. It can be gently warmed in an oven for a few minutes to revive its texture. Slice it just before serving to maintain its freshness. It pairs wonderfully with cheeses, charcuterie, and spreads. For a delightful appetizer, slice it, toast it lightly, and top with your favorite ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike baguettes made with commercial yeast, this sourdough version develops a more complex flavor profile due to the long fermentation process. The natural starter contributes a subtle tanginess and a chewier crumb. The organic flour also contributes to its distinct taste and texture.

How to keep the rest
