Our range of 100% whole wheat sourdough breads were born when we couldn't find any maida-free ones to buy. After starting on whole food plant-based diet we still wanted to make yummy sandwiches and toasts but didn't want unhealthy maida, oil, dairy products and sugar, commonly used in baking bread. So we decided to not only make them ourselves but also to share the same with everyone through Sampoorna Ahara.

We wanted to make some fun flavours. A lot of people wanted something spicy and we created this Jalapeño flavoured bread came about in one of our experiments and we loved it! Mildly flavoured with pieces of Jalapeño here and there makes this loaf interesting. Toasts and sandwiches with this loaf became an instant hit with our team and family members, especially our gran who is a great critic of good food!

The delightful moment was when we shared these loaves with friends and a few other food critics who instantly fell in love with it.

We could have spiced up our regular sourdough bread with say a chilly paste but we are grateful we had this brainwave prompting us to use these Jalapeno bits instead.

At the bakery, we are now happily on to a few more exciting experiments! We shall soon update you on those as well.
