Our Levain loaves are naturally leavened with a Levain starter and contain approximately 20% Organic whole wheat flour, with the rest of the flour being unbleached Organic wheat flour. Small Levain is a round or “boule” shape, and is one of the original breads first made when our company was founded in 1983. The crumb is airy and moist with nutty and sour notes. The outside has a robust crust with a smoky and caramelized flavor.
Suggested Uses: Levain is a versatile bread that is well suited for table bread, breakfast toast, croutons, sandwiches, grilled bread, bread crumbs, open faced sandwiches, grilled cheese, fondue, and much more. Many enjoy eating the bread as is because of the unique whole wheat sourdough flavor.
