Sourdough Loaf Bread

The sourdough loaf bread with Sourdough is perfect for filling; we often eat it for breakfast with jam or toasted for bruschetta.

The preparation may seem long, but I assure you it’s absolutely worth it. You have to try it, it’s delicious.

It’s not the classic loaf bread; let’s say it’s a reinterpretation. But I have to say, we like this version much better.
