This is bread stripped to its essentials: flour, water, salt, and patience. We fold it by hand, ferment slowly, and bake hot. The result? A loaf with depth of flavor that only time can create—tangy, tender, and true. This is sourdough in its purest form. Delivered unsliced to preserve the perfect crust.
