Date, Walnut & Honey Sourdough

Date, Walnut & Honey Sourdough

Contains · GlutenContains · Nuts

Naturally fermented for over 24 hours, this artisan loaf combines dates, toasted walnuts, and a touch of honey for a beautifully comforting flavor.

A sourdough naturally fermented for over 24 hours, made with dates, toasted walnuts and a touch of honey. Despite the dates it is not a sweet bread: the proportion of dates to flour is modest, enough to punctuate the crumb rather than define it, the salt sits at full bread level, and the sourdough's lactic acidity sits underneath. What comes through is caramel, malt and a faint dried-fruit depth, closer to a dark rye than to a cake, which is why it suits a savoury table and aged cheese rather than jam.

  • Naturally fermented for over 24 hours
  • Dates laminated in at the final fold, about an hour before the end of bulk, so they stay as pockets rather than dissolving
  • Walnuts kept cold and toasted the morning they are used

Contains Gluten, Nuts. Our kitchen handles nuts, peanuts, sesame, dairy, egg and gluten, so we cannot guarantee that any item is free from traces. Please tell us about an allergy before you order.

Keep it in a paper or linen bag on the counter, cut side face down on a board, where the crumb stays soft for three to four days. Avoid plastic on the first day, while the loaf is still giving off moisture, or the crust turns leathery by morning. Do not refrigerate it. Freeze it sliced and sealed instead, and toast straight from frozen a setting lower than usual, because exposed date pieces darken before the crumb does. A whole loaf revives at 180°C for six to eight minutes, then rests five minutes before cutting.

Everything is baked to order. Checkout shows the date your order will be prepared before you pay, and delivery options and any fee are confirmed there. Collection is arranged over WhatsApp.

Tasting notes
Texture

A soft crumb with jammy pockets of date through it rather than a uniformly brown one. The toasted walnuts tint the crumb faintly purple-grey where they sit against the dough; that is normal, and the mark of real walnuts.

Best with

Aged cheddar or blue cheese, labneh with olive oil and za'atar, grilled halloumi on a toasted slice, or nothing but butter and flaky salt. Cold laban alongside is the most local pairing; with coffee, go dark and unsweetened.
