Sourdough Baguette
Sourdough Baguette
It's said that the baguette originates from the days of the Napoleonic wars. French loaves were round and difficult to carry, so Napoleon ordered bakers to make long, thin loaves to allow soldiers to stuff them down their trousers! Luckily, this isn't a requirement to buy our baguettes – simply enjoy the crunchy crust and pillowy middle as a sandwich, dipping bread or as a cheese and charcuterie accompaniment.
Our baguettes are made using Chelmer White flour – an organic grain flour from the W & H Marriage & Sons mill in Chelmsford. The Marriages family-owned mill has been producing superior quality flour since 1824. As the closest thing to 00 flour we could find in the UK, the finely ground Chelmer White is perfect for our baguettes.
