Rudi's Organic Cracked Wheat Sourdough Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of sourdough bread made with organic cracked wheat. Sourdough bread is known for its distinctive 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 bit of texture to the crumb. This bread is baked to a golden brown.

It can be warmed slightly in an oven or toaster before serving to enhance its aroma and texture.
