Product Description

GAIL's San Francisco Sourdough

There’s no mistaking our magnificent San Fran Sourdough. Enhanced with yoghurt for a more pronounced flavour, it out-tangs every other loaf we make. Its significant crust hides a soft, white and lacy interior, a natural characteristic of its slow and steady 48-hour rise.

About GAIL's
GAIL's believes in the art of honest breadmaking. We start with just four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast, and we never add artificial colours or flavours. Instead, we seek out the best ingredients from where they're best, whether it's hand-peeled Bramley apples from Britain, single source unsalted butter from France, or plump juicy olives from Mediterranean groves. All our loaves are made by hand too, so we never need to add the stabilisers and preservatives that are an unavoidable fact of industrialised bread.

Our selection of classic and globally-inspired artisanal breads includes a range of sourdoughs made from 15-year old wild yeast starters. Allowed to rise slowly and naturally, these loaves take 48 hours to make and possess a mature taste and character that a mechanically processed loaf couldn't hope to match.

good but they could do better so easily

Taste texture good yes as per other reviews but the amount of holes are ridiculous. Have had many top quality sourdough breads but never so much air. If that one issue was addressed I'd buy regularly.

Really tasty.

I have to agree with smithyoxon, this is great bread and I'm surprised by the negative reviews. Ours lasts from Saturday to Tuesday without any significant dryness. It's dense and chewy as sourdough should be, absolutely delicious toasted and buttered to dip in your boiled eggs.

Excellent

I cant believe the negative reviews, this is a top notch bread and I feel I am a bit of a bread fan. It has a good firm consistency its always fresh, yes it can have holes through it but come on its a natural product and you need an excuse to pour some extra maple syrup over your toast don't you? Were so lucky to have this type of bread delivered to our door rather than running to the shops having to buy Sainsbury's or Tesco rubbish totally dull cant taste the difference bread.. Thanks Ocado

Not good

The taste of this is okay if eating on the day of purchase. That said, it's quite tough and you'll struggle if you have any dental weaknesses. It is also full of large holes, making it unsuitable for sandwiches. Considering the hefty price tag, it felt like I was buying the Emperor's new clothes since half of the loaf was fresh air.

We love this bread and find a few mins in a hot oven makes it lovely and crispy again if you dont eat it on the day of purchase.
