Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why sourdough?
All our breads are made of sourdough starter - which means we do not use any commercial yeast in the process of making them. This will allow slow fermentation which results in great flavour and texture in all my breads.
2. What is in the bread?
Flour, water and salt. Also some milk, sugar and butter in the sweet dough. In short, only natural ingredients. We do not use any preservative or artificial additive such as softener or chemical in the breads.

Sourdough bread is a type of slow-fermented bread that is made of sourdough starter which acts as a natural leavening agent. Slow fermentation results in great naturally tangy flavors with chewy texture in the bread. Our country loaf is baked daily using only 3 ingredients: Flour, water and salt.
As sourdough bread goes through a long fermentation (>12hrs) it will break down most carbohydrates & gluten inside the bread. This is why it is easier to digest and has lower GI. Not only that, it also provides good acid with lots of good bacteria and probiotic with it.

7. How to enjoy the bread?
- Sourdough country loaf & sourdough bagels - sprinkle some water on the sliced surface and warm it in toaster at 170-180°C for 3-5 mins
- Sourdough donuts - warm it in the microwave for 15secs to soften it and generously coat it with the sugar provided. Alternatively you may also use air fryer if you have one at home
- Sourdough baguette/croissants - Warm it in toaster at 170-180°C for 2-3 mins
8. How long will the bread last? And what to do after I receive my bread?
The breads will generally last 2-3 days in normal room temperature. So if you're planning to have it within the same day, there's no need to chill it. However, if you're planning on having it later, it can last up to 1-2 weeks in the fridge, or longer in the freezer.
