Roasted Squash Rosemary Sourdough Bread - Beaver Valley

Warm, savory, and just a little unexpected—this sourdough roasted squash rosemary loaf brings together comfort and character in every slice. Slow-roasted squash adds a natural sweetness and velvety softness to the crumb, while fresh rosemary weaves in a fragrant, earthy note that keeps each bite interesting.

The naturally fermented sourdough base gives it a gentle tang, perfectly balancing the richness of the squash. Outside, you’ll find a golden, crackling crust; inside, a tender, slightly moist crumb with a beautiful, rustic texture that practically begs to be torn rather than sliced (no one’s judging).  Comforting, aromatic, and just fancy enough to make it seem like you planned something special—even if you’re just here for the bread.

Roasted Squash Rosemary 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, Himalayan Sea Salt, locally grown Organic Squash, Organic Rosemary

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.
