Introducing Freshly Baked Sourdough Bread at Our Boutique Shop Beirut

Posted on February 17 2025, By: Tereza Kacalova

We’re excited to announce a delicious new addition to our boutique shop: freshly baked sourdough bread! Made with love and crafted by hand. Whether you’re a sourdough enthusiast or new to the experience, this freshly baked loaf is a treat for all senses.

The Making of Sourdough Bread

Our sourdough bread is made from the finest ingredients—bread flour, water, organic spelt, barley and rye flour, wide range of seed (poppy seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds) pinch of salt, and a carefully cultivated starter.

The bread undergoes a slow fermentation process, where yeast and natural bacteria come together to create its distinct, tangy flavor and airy texture. This lengthy fermentation not only enhances the bread’s taste but also breaks down gluten, making it easier to digest.

The Benefits

Beyond its remarkable flavor, sourdough offers numerous health benefits. Its natural fermentation process helps reduce phytic acid, which can improve the absorption of essential minerals like iron and zinc. The wild yeast and probiotics contribute to a healthier gut, promoting better digestion and overall well-being. With its low glycemic index, sourdough is also gentler on blood sugar levels compared to other bread types.

A Taste Like No Other

The taste of our sourdough is a perfect balance of tangy and slightly sweet, with a chewy crust and a soft, airy interior. Each bite is an experience, with layers of flavor that develop beautifully over time. Whether toasted or fresh, the bread is a delightful complement to any meal.

Food Pairing with our Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For an elevated experience, we highly recommend pairing our sourdough with the finest extra virgin olive oil from our boutique. The rich, fruity notes of Ayrouni Cultivar blend perfectly with the tangy flavor of the sourdough. Drizzle the olive oil on slices of fresh sourdough, add a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy a simple yet decadent treat that captures the essence of Lebanese flavors.
