What’s a Sourdough Bread Boule?

A sourdough boule is a round loaf of bread made using sourdough starter, which is a natural mix of flour and water that ferments to help the bread rise. The boule (French for “ball”) has a thick, crunchy crust on the outside and a soft, chewy inside with a slightly tangy flavour from the fermentation process. It’s baked in a way that gives it a rustic look, often with a nice golden colour.

Perfect Pairings for your Sourdough Boule

Here are five perfect pairings for sourdough bread:

1. Butter and Jam – A simple but classic combination. The rich butter and sweet jam complement the tangy flavour of sourdough perfectly.
2. Cheese – Try sourdough with mature cheddar, brie, or blue cheese. The bold flavours of the cheese go well with the hearty, chewy texture of the bread.
3. Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar – Dip slices of sourdough into good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a light, Mediterranean-style snack.
4. Avocado and Poached Eggs – Spread mashed avocado on a toasted slice of sourdough, top with a poached egg, and sprinkle with salt and pepper for a delicious and healthy meal.
5. Bruschetta – Toasted sourdough topped with diced tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil makes a perfect base for this Italian appetiser. The crisp bread pairs beautifully with the fresh, zesty flavours.
