Goldminer Bakery Cracked Wheat Sourdough Square Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of sourdough bread made with cracked wheat. Sourdough bread is known for its tangy flavor and chewy texture, which comes from a long fermentation process using wild yeast and bacteria. The addition of cracked wheat adds a slightly nutty taste and a more rustic texture compared to bread made with only refined flour. The square shape makes it convenient for slicing into uniform pieces.
How people cook with it
This bread is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple toast to elaborate sandwiches.
- Toasted for breakfast
- Sandwich base
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
To enjoy this bread, you can slice it and toast it for a crispy breakfast or snack. It makes an excellent base for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings due to its sturdy crust and chewy interior. For a different texture, cubes of the bread can be baked into croutons for salads or soups. It can also be used as a foundation for sweet or savory bread puddings, absorbing flavors beautifully during baking. The slightly coarse texture from the cracked wheat adds an interesting mouthfeel to any preparation.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a smooth white sourdough, this cracked wheat version offers a more pronounced texture from the whole wheat pieces. Its flavor profile is also subtly different, with a nuttier undertone complementing the characteristic sourdough tang. The crust may also be slightly firmer.
