Liz's Little Bakery

The mission of Liz's Little Bakery is to create a variety of sourdough, using ancient grain, made the ancient way.

100% Artisan Sourdough, made from our own wild yeast mother dough named "Gilbert" . All our sourdough is made with simple ingredients; organic flours, filtered water, salt and "Gilbert", which then undergoes long fermentation. My aim is to deliver nutritious and delicious bread, tha

t makes you feel energised, while also improving your gut flora (and you won't feel bloated with unnatural preservatives!)

I fell in love with Khorasan wheat (also known by a trademarked name "Kamut") for its highly nutritious content. Khorasan was never hybridized, it's organically grown and rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It's low in calories and when compared to regular wheat, it has up to 30% more protein. Khorasan is also high in fiber, rich in B-Vitamins (aids in energy release) and in iron and folic acid (essential for red blood cell formation). Khorasan contains significantly more of the natural antioxidant selenium and is 30% higher in Vitamin E. "Researchers at the University of Florence, working in collaboration with the Careggi University Hospital of Florence, found that Kamut-brand khorasan wheat could positively impact blood insulin and glucose." "Research has shown that a replacement diet with products made with organic ancient khorasan wheat “could provide additive protective effects in reducing glucose, insulin, lipd and inflammatory risk factors, and in restoring blood redox balance in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients compared to diet with product made with modern organic wheat,” according to a 2017 article in the European Journal of Nutrition. "

Khorasan has a creamy, buttery, nutty flavour and a beautiful yellow colour, which altogether make outstanding loaves of bread.
