4 Ingredients for Artisan Baguette with Sourdough Starter
The artisanal bakery is thriving today as more and more people have started to appreciate and demand traditional breads with a rustic flavour and aroma. While regular baguettes are made using four basic ingredients namely flour, salt, yeast and water, Artisanal baguettes make use of sour dough pre-ferments or sour dough starters for enhanced flavour and aroma.
Though sour dough starters are natural and clean label, they take several days to cultivate and require vigilant care to be kept alive. In our fast paced times, using a dry active sour dough starter not only adds convenience and reduces fermentation time but also gives you authentic artisanal breads with superior flavour and rustic aroma.

Baking artisanal baguettes using Aroma-tic will give you a traditional French bread with excellent flavour, rustic aroma and a crunchy golden crust that your customers will relish till the very last crumb.
