Ursa Minor Sour Dough Breads
We use sourdough bread from Ursa Minor which is made using only 3 ingredients - organic flour, water and salt. It is a slow process (around 36 hours) but this helps the gluten to breakdown and become more digestible. It is NOT gluten free, but people who live a ‘gluten free’ lifestyle are finding they don’t have them same issues they would normally have from eating processed breads.
