A collection of sourdough formulas/recipes

All of our recipes are centred around our overall health and well being.

Healthy bread isn't just about the long, slow process of fermentation, but also about mindfulness and connection. And it isn't just about bread either.  These recipes help to nourish our microbiome, as well as deliver on flavour.
