Handmade sourdough
Wild yeasts. Pure rainwater from our Barham farm. Salt gathered at Lake Charm. Nothing else.
About
Every loaf I bake begins with rainwater collected from our Barham farm. The flour is milled from grain grown without chemicals. The salt comes from Lake Charm. Nothing else finds its way in.
I follow the traditional method of wild fermentation, using a living sourdough culture. The bake changes with the seasons. Each day I read the dough by feel and smell and look, and adjust accordingly.
Alongside the sourdough, I sometimes bake a fruit loaf using local dried fruit, grown and dried without chemicals.
Each loaf reflects this landscape.
Four ingredients. Nothing more.
Wild fermentation takes time. The bake changes with the seasons, and no two are the same.
