Seeded sourdough

Seeded sourdough is a rustic-style bread made with a naturally fermented sourdough starter, giving it a slightly tangy depth of flavour and a chewy, well-aerated crumb. What sets the seeded version apart is the addition of mixed seeds—commonly sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame, and sometimes poppy seeds—either folded into the dough.

The crust is typically thick and crisp, often deeply caramelised with a nutty aroma.

Inside, the bread remains soft but structured, with a subtle earthiness from the grains and a pleasant crunch whenever you bite into a seed pocket.

Sourdough bread like this is popular for its balance of flavour and texture: tangy, nutty, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. It works well toasted with butter, paired with savoury toppings like avocado or cheese, or simply eaten on its own to appreciate the complexity of the fermentation and seeds.
