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 starter gives the bread its characteristic tangy flavor and chewy texture. The wide pan shape means the slices are broader and flatter than those from a traditional loaf, making them ideal for certain types of sandwiches and toast.

How people cook with it

This bread is versatile and can be used in many ways, from simple toast to elaborate sandwiches.

• Sandwich bread
• Toast
• French toast
• Bread pudding

You can enjoy this sourdough bread as is, or toast it for a crispier texture. It's excellent for making sandwiches, as the wide slices can accommodate a generous amount of fillings. For breakfast, it makes a fantastic base for French toast or can be cubed and used in a savory bread pudding. The tangy flavor pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings, making it a flexible ingredient in the kitchen.

How it differs from similar foods
