The Secret to Logan's Perfectly Crusty Sourdough

If you've ever wondered what makes Logan's Loaves sourdough bread so perfectly crusty, you're in luck! Today, we're going to let you in on the secret to achieving that golden-brown, crispy crust that our customers can't get enough of. 1. The Wild Yeast Starter: At Logan's Loaves, we use a wild yeast starter to make our sourdough bread. This starter is a mixture of flour and water that has been fermented over time, capturing the natural yeast in the air. This wild yeast gives our bread its unique flavor and helps create that beautiful crust. 2. Long Fermentation: Another key factor in achieving a crusty sourdough bread is the long fermentation process. Our dough is left to ferment for at least 24 hours, allowing the wild yeast to work its magic. This slow fermentation process develops the flavor of the bread and creates air pockets, resulting in that soft and airy interior. 3. High-Quality Ingredients: We believe that using high-quality ingredients is essential for creating the best bread possible. We source our flour from local mills, ensuring that it is fresh and full of flavor. We also use filtered water and sea salt to enhance the taste of our bread. By using these quality ingredients, we can achieve a crust that is both flavorful and crispy. 4. Traditional Baking Methods: At Logan's Loaves, we pride ourselves on using traditional baking methods. Our bread is baked in a stone hearth oven, which helps create that perfect crust. The oven's intense heat and steam create a moist environment, allowing the crust to develop a beautiful golden-brown color and a crackly texture. 5. Attention to Detail: Finally, achieving the perfect crust requires attention to detail. Our bakers carefully monitor the temperature and humidity levels during the baking process to ensure that the bread bakes evenly and develops a crust that is both crispy and crackly. They also know the exact timing needed to achieve the desired crust, taking into account factors such as the size and shape of the loaf.
