Bread, Sourdough

Cottage Lane bread is handcrafted from the very best local and imported ingredients in the beautiful Wairarapa. Each loaf is crafted using their famous starter and then slow-fermented for 72 hours before being stone-baked to perfection, creating a thick golden crust and pillowy centre.
 
Cottage Lane loaves are par-baked and may arrive thawed - finish baking as follows:
 
Preheat oven to 180 ° and bake on a rack until golden - approx 20-23 minutes depending on your oven.

Each loaf is approximately 500g.
 
More about the Starter
 
To find a truly authentic sourdough bug, Cottage Lane went all the way to San Francisco, the capital of the ‘sourdough renaissance’, to source a strain from a family-run bakery dating back to the 1800s. This beloved starter just celebrated its 80th birthday and is fed daily by the team!
