Sourdough with roasted garlic and fresh rosemary folded through the dough.

Con Ternura's naturally leavened sourdough, slow fermented with a wild starter and no commercial yeast, with roasted garlic and rosemary worked in before the bake. The garlic goes sweet and soft in the oven; the rosemary perfumes the whole loaf.

Long fermentation is what makes real sourdough different. The wild culture breaks down much of the gluten and phytic acid in the flour before you eat it, which is why many people who feel heavy after ordinary bread digest true sourdough comfortably. No dough conditioners, no preservatives, no added sugar.

Who this is for

• You want bread that is the side dish, not just the vehicle
• You feel bloated after supermarket bread and miss real bread
• You are making soup, stew or a roast and need the loaf to go with it
• You want to support a Modesto baker instead of a factory
