The Classic Formula uses a combination of natural sourdough starter for flavor and commercial yeast for reliable performance. Use this formula if you have an existing active sourdough starter but want to add a pixie dust of instant yeast as leavening “insurance”. This formula gives you both great flavor and beautiful loft. We recently updated this formula to produce a more manageable, less sticky dough.
We prefer supporting local, regional farmers and millers but sometimes it just isn’t practical. In those situations selecting an organic bread flour that we can get at the local store provides a suitable alternative.
King Arthur and Bob’s Red Mill both have stellar reputations for producing excellent products. You use two different flours in a 65/35 ratio. 65% Organic Whole Wheat Bread Flour and 35% Organic Bread Flour.
Why the blend? We’re focused on nutrition with our Sandwich loaf. All-purpose organic bread flour is more sifted and doesn’t contain the “whole graininess” we want for our nutritious sandwich loaf. So we use less of that flour and more of whole wheat flour. The result: a delicious loaf that maintains our nutrition goals and that you can be proud of. You will enjoy this loaf.
