Signature Select Sourdough Bread, Thin Sliced, 18 oz
What it is
This is a loaf of sourdough bread that has been pre-sliced into thin pieces. Sourdough is known for its distinctive tangy flavor, which comes from a fermentation process using wild yeast and bacteria. The thin slicing makes it convenient for quick preparation and allows for a higher bread-to-topping ratio in sandwiches and toast. It is a plant-based food, suitable for those following a vegan diet.
How people cook with it
Thinly sliced sourdough is a versatile ingredient for everyday meals and snacks.
- Quick toast
- Sandwich base
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
This bread is ready to use straight from the package for toast or sandwiches. For toast, simply place the slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown. It can also be used as a base for open-faced sandwiches, topped with spreads, cheeses, or vegetables. For croutons, cut the bread into cubes and bake or pan-fry until crisp. It can also be incorporated into savory bread puddings or stuffing mixtures, absorbing flavors well during baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard white or whole wheat bread, this sourdough offers a noticeable tang and a chewier texture due to its fermentation. The thin slices provide a more delicate crunch when toasted and are less filling than thicker cuts, allowing other flavors to dominate.
Who it is for
Home cooks and individuals looking for a flavorful and convenient bread option for daily meals.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining bread in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make the bread stale more quickly. For longer storage, slices can be frozen and thawed as needed.
