Enriched wheat flour. Yeast. Sugar. Soybean oil. Calcium propionate. DATEM. Monoglycerides. Enzymes. Ascorbic acid.
Thatโs not the simple sourdough most people think theyโre buying.
Thatโs a shelf-stable bread product dressed up as sourdough, and if youโre choosing sourdough because youโre trying to make a better bread choice, the label matters.
Hereโs what most people donโt know:

It uses a live starter culture and time.
That slow fermentation process is what gives real sourdough its flavor, texture, and the reason so many people choose it over regular bread in the first place.
But a lot of grocery-store โsourdoughโ skips that process.
They use commercial yeast for speed, added ingredients for texture, preservatives for shelf life, and still get to call it sourdough.
Legal? Sure.
Misleading? Absolutely.
At Copper Spur Farm, we bake the real thing. ๐

Flour.
Water.
Salt.
A live starter culture we maintain right here on the farm.
Thatโs it.
No shortcuts.
No additives.
No fine print.
We bake in small batches with fresh local pickup available Monday through Saturday. Order online and choose the pickup day that works for you.
If youโre in the Gilbert or Chandler area and youโve never had real sourdough, this is your sign.
Your gut deserves better than a bread-bag chemistry experiment.
