Nothing says summer in the UK like a delicious bite from the grill!

We're enjoying the sunshine and delicious foods that come with it, like our signature burger buns and juicy hot dogs.

And after the year we've had, it's great to finally be able to spend time outside and soak up some vitamin D!

HOW IS SOURDOUGH MADE?

Sourdough begins with 3 simple ingredients: flour, water and time. Mix equal parts flour to water and leave for 3-5 days. With time and warmth comes fermentation and the toolkit to making great bread – the starter.
Depending on the flour you’ve used, the fermentation process creates a whole family of natural microbes – the main one being lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli), and this is what gives sourdough it’s iconic sour flavour.
You can use any flour and often bakers will have a couple of different starters on the go at once to create different outcomes in their loaves. The important thing is, to use the same kind of flour and ideally brand when refreshing. You can also use different liquids to refresh with like apple juice or yoghurt.

WHAT DOES SOURDOUGH MEAN?

From a science point of view:
Sourdough bread is made by the fermentation of water and flour which naturally creates lactobacilli and ‘wild’ yeast (wild referring to natural yeasts in the flour). The lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli gives it a sourer taste and improved keeping qualities.

From a baker’s point of view:

A slower and more nourishing way of creating a variety of flavours that are delicious and appealing to look at.
