Artisan Boule with Honeyed Sultana & Long-Ferment Crumb

The Golden Standard. A cornerstone of our Larder & Cellar Collection, this 80% hydration boule is a masterclass in texture. By combining a slow, cool fermentation with a deliberate 12-hour post-bake maturation, we’ve created a loaf where the fruit and grain truly become one.

In the world of high-hydration baking, time is the final ingredient. This loaf is "cellar-rested" to allow the honeyed sweetness of the sultanas to permeate the crumb, ensuring that every slice is consistently moist, deeply flavoured, and structurally perfect.

The Flavor Profile

• The Fruit: Plump, sun-ripened sultanas provide bursts of honey-like sweetness. During the long ferment, these fruits hydrate the dough, creating a soft, tender interior.

• The Providence: Our Local Bull Bay Honey from bees feasting on the local flora.

• The Crumb: Our signature "Long-Ferment" process develops a complex, slightly lactic tang that perfectly balances the natural sugars of the fruit.

• The Bake: A thin, golden-brown crust yields to a remarkably open and moist crumb that has been allowed to "set" to perfection over 12 hours.

The Flat Cap Baker’s Serving Suggestion

This is a sophisticated loaf designed for the modern larder. Because it has been rested, it holds its shape beautifully under a knife, making it ideal for thin, elegant slicing.

• The Savory Twist: Exceptional when paired with a sharp, farmhouse cheddar or a creamy goat’s cheese.

• The Breakfast Staple: Lightly toasted and topped with a drizzle of local Bull Bay Honey or a thick layer of unsalted butter to let the sultanas shine.
