The Purist Formula uses a natural sourdough starter for leavening. This formula is best for our most experienced bakers. It has been optimized to reduce any sour notes, but your own efforts may still contribute some natural sourness.
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.
