This is a delicious sourdough loaf made with spelt flour - an ancient variety of wheat that has been traced back to Roman times. Unlike modern wheat, it has not been cross-bred. This bread is made without manufactured yeasts, containing only the wild yeasts present in sourdough levain.
Bread for our customers in towns west of London is freshly baked every day by the Long Crichel Bakery in Dorset, which is dedicated to organic baking. Working out of a converted 18th Century coach house and stable with a purpose build wood fired brick oven, Long Crichel Bakery produces traditional hand made loaves using only organic ingredients. Their wonderful breads are both delicious and nutritious, and the closest you can get to home made bread without getting out the flour and yeast yourself! None of their loaves contain any genetically modified ingredients or artificial additives, and all are suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.

Best stored in bread bins made out of wood or unglazed clay as metal and plastic prevent the bread from 'breathing' and encourage the growth of mould. Cotton bags or even paper bags are good provided they are stored in a cool dry place. Do not store bread in the refrigerator as this actually encourages the aging process. Our bread freezes well, but it is only worth doing if you want to store it for more than 5 days. P
