San Luis Sourdough Cracked Wheat Sliced Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of sliced bread made with a sourdough starter and cracked wheat. The sourdough process involves a fermented dough that gives the bread a distinct tangy flavor and a chewy texture. The cracked wheat adds a rustic element and a slightly nutty taste. The bread is pre-sliced for convenience, making it easy to use for sandwiches or toast. It comes in a standard loaf size.

San Luis Sourdough Cracked Wheat Sliced Bread is ready to eat straight from the package. It is excellent toasted, where the cracked wheat can become delightfully crisp. It also works well as a base for open-faced sandwiches or as a side to soups and stews. For a richer flavor, you can lightly butter it before toasting or grilling. It can also be cubed and dried to make homemade croutons or incorporated into savory bread puddings.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard white bread, this sourdough cracked wheat loaf offers a more complex flavor with its characteristic tang. The inclusion of cracked wheat provides a chewier texture and a slightly coarser crumb than smooth-textured breads. It has a more robust taste that stands up well to strong toppings.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any unused portions of the loaf in its original packaging or a tightly sealed bread bag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, consider freezing the slices, which can be toasted directly from the freezer.
