Brian's Artisan Bread Sourdough Stick is a traditional, handcrafted sourdough bread made using time-honored artisan baking methods. This 2-pack of 16 oz sourdough sticks is crafted with only three simple ingredients: flour, water, and salt, with no additives, preservatives, or added yeast.

Each stick is made using a natural sourdough starter that is fed daily and combined with flour and water to create a mother dough or sponge. The sponge proofs for a minimum of 12 to 14 hours before being used to make the bread. The dough is shaped by hand into stick form and placed directly on baking trays without pans, making these hearth-style sourdough sticks. The bread undergoes approximately 20 hours of proofing time, during which the natural yeast develops the distinctive tangy sourdough flavor. Each loaf is hand-scored before baking to create its unique pattern and control expansion. The bread is baked with steam injection to achieve its characteristic glossy, bubbly crust.

Brian's Artisan Bread Company, based on California's Central Coast, has been crafting artisan sourdough breads in small batches primarily by hand. Their traditional sourdough-making process results in authentic, flavorful bread with a crispy exterior and soft interior.
