Sainsbury's White Sourdough Loaf 400g
What it is
This is a loaf of white sourdough bread from Sainsbury's. Sourdough is made using a starter, which is a fermented mixture of flour and water. This process gives sourdough its characteristic tangy flavor and chewy texture. The white flour used in this loaf contributes to a lighter color and a slightly milder taste compared to whole wheat sourdough. It is baked to a golden brown crust.
