Private Selection Sourdough Wide Pan Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of sourdough bread baked in a wide pan. Sourdough bread is made using a starter, which is a fermented mixture of flour and water. This process gives the bread its characteristic tangy flavor and chewy texture. The wide pan shape means the slices are broad and flat, making them ideal for various uses. The crust is typically golden brown and offers a satisfying crunch.
