Why does your sourdough bread taste different from the

bread I can get at the grocery store?

In its basic form, Sourdough bread is made by the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. Sourdough bread has a mildly sour taste not present in most breads made with baker's yeast and better inherent keeping qualities than other breads, due to the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli.

Many of the breads in the market today are made using commercial bakers yeasts and flavoring agents like acids to create the sour flavor.

We at Baker's Corner Bakery are using only the sourdough starter to leaven our breads and do not add any acid flavorings to create the sour flavor in our bread.  That is why it is a milder flavor than you can get elsewhere.

It seems a little dense, what can you do with your breads?

Our Classic White bread is the perfect bread for panini sandwiches and grilled cheese!  Grab your favorite cheese, some tomato soup, and start dipping away today!

With the slightly sweet and earthy notes in the Rustic Whole Wheat, this bread pairs wonderfully with your favorite chili or corn chowder.

I bought a loaf of your bread, left it in my pantry and now it is rock hard! 

What do I do now?!

So you left the bread in your pantry and it got hard.  Don't worry, you don't need to throw the bread away!  Simply preheat your oven to 350 degrees, unwrap the bread and place it (unwrapped) directly on the oven rack and bake for 15 minutes.  Be careful when you remove the loaf from the oven, it will be very hot!  This will reactivate the moisture in the crumb and revitalize the bread, even if the bread is over a week old!

What is happening is this:  There is enough moisture in the crumb of the bread to revitalize not only the crumb but also the crust when reheated!

What is the best way to store your baked goods?

Our loaves of classic white and whole wheat, along with our pumpkin bread and lemon rosemary breads hold best sealed in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Cookies can remain in a sealed container in the pantry.
