“How is our sourdough so easy to digest?” 🤎
It starts long before the dough is mixed.
We choose to bake with King Arthur Special Patent Flour because it’s never bleached and never bromated. That means no unnecessary chemical treatments—just high-quality wheat, milled with integrity.
Many commercial flours are treated with bleaching agents and potassium bromate, an additive that has been linked to health concerns and is banned in several countries. We believe bread doesn’t need shortcuts or unnecessary additives to be exceptional.
At The Rustic Oven, we keep it simple:
✨ Premium, unbleached flour
✨ Simple ingredients you can recognize
✨ Slow, traditional fermentation
✨ A thriving wild sourdough starter
Our dough ferments for hours, allowing natural yeasts and bacteria to do what they’ve done for centuries—develop incredible flavor while helping break down gluten and starches, making our bread easier for many people to digest.
Because good bread shouldn’t be complicated.
Just flour, water, salt, time… and a whole lot of care. 🤎
