200 years in the making

Bakers Delight adds to its Authentic Sourdough range

Traditional sourdough dates back 200 years, so when Bakers Delight were developing their new Fruit and Olive Authentic Sourdough, they sourced the ancient recipe and an ingredient that has literally been around for centuries.

Known as Levain, this ingredient is a living culture that lies at the heart of the sourdough recipe. The culture is what gives the sourdough a strong, full flavour and, it’s 100% natural.

Every sourdough loaf takes around eight hours to make. The authentic process doesn’t use fake powders or vinegars and the dough is moulded by hand before it rests for a few hours at different stages to ensure a full and authentic taste.

When the loaf goes into the oven, it’s baked on hot stones, not metal trays, giving it a lovely crusty finish with a chewy texture and slightly sour but delicious flavour, the kind of taste that lingers at the back of your palate.

The two new varieties can be enjoyed for any occasion:

Fruit Sourdough – great for breakfast; once you’ve toasted it you’ll never look at cafe toast the same again.
Olive Sourdough – a delicious everyday snack to share with friends or accompany the evening meal.

Authentic Sourdough – perfect for making your sandwich at lunchtime that extra bit tastier.

Fruit and Olive Sourdough are available in vienna or rolls and are priced at RRP $6.60 and $1.80. Visit www.bakersdelight.co.nz for more information and recipe ideas, or to find your nearest bakery.
