Truth and Reconciliation calls on all of us to learn, listen, and reflect on the history and experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

Apple and pear... in sourdough? 🍎🍐

There’s a reason Chef Jerome starts this sourdough with fermented apple and pear water.

By fermenting the fruit first, we’re creating a natural source of wild yeast to build the starter. The result? A different fermentation process that can lead to a milder, more delicate flavour and subtle fruit-forward character in the finished bread.

In this video, Jerome takes us through how he creates the fermented fruit water and uses it to begin building his starter.
