Buttermilk Sourdough bread - Beaver Valley

Crusty, tangy, and just the right amount of indulgent—this sourdough buttermilk artisan loaf is where old-world baking meets everyday comfort. Naturally fermented for a rich, complex flavor, it carries that signature sourdough tang, softened by the subtle creaminess of buttermilk. Its golden, crackly crust gives way to a tender crumb with just a hint of chew. Each loaf is handcrafted in small batches, because shortcuts and great bread don’t get along.

Buttermilk Sourdough Loaves are a circular shape, weight 800 grams and come frozen. All bread is made in a facility that may contain nuts.

Ingredients: Organic White Flour, Organic Cane Sugar, Himalayan Sea Salt, Lemon Juice, Milk

Refreshing Instructions: 

Refreshing frozen sourdough bread is best achieved by rehydrating the crust and heating it in the oven, which restores a crispy exterior and a soft, warm interior. For best results, thaw the bread first, though it can be baked directly from frozen. 

Recommended Refresh Method (thaw first):

1. Thaw: Allow the frozen loaf to thaw at room temperature (about 2–5 hours).

2. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F–400°F (175°C–200°C).

3. Wet the Loaf: Briefly run the entire loaf under cold water, or use a spray bottle to dampen the crust, ensuring it is fully covered.

4. Bake: Place the damp loaf directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet) for 10–20 minutes.

5. Cool: Allow the bread to cool for at least 30–60 minutes before slicing to ensure the crumb sets properly.

Alternate Method-refresh from frozen

• From Frozen (Faster): Run the frozen, rock-hard loaf under water for 30 seconds, then bake in a 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes.
