What’s a Sourdough Bread Boule?
A sourdough boule is a round loaf of bread made using sourdough starter, which is a natural mix of flour and water that ferments to help the bread rise. The boule (French for “ball”) has a thick, crunchy crust on the outside and a soft, chewy inside with a slightly tangy flavour from the fermentation process. It’s baked in a way that gives it a rustic look, often with a nice golden colour.

Perfect Pairings for your Sourdough Boule
Here are five perfect pairings for sourdough bread:
- Butter and Jam – A simple but classic combination. The rich butter and sweet jam complement the tangy flavour of sourdough perfectly.
- Cheese – Try sourdough with mature cheddar, brie, or blue cheese. The bold flavours of the cheese go well with the hearty, chewy texture of the bread.
- Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar – Dip slices of sourdough into good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a light, Mediterranean-style snack.
- Avocado and Poached Eggs – Spread mashed avocado on a toasted slice of sourdough, top with a poached egg, and sprinkle with salt and pepper for a delicious and healthy meal.
- Bruschetta – Toasted sourdough topped with diced tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil makes a perfect base for this Italian appetiser. The crisp bread pairs beautifully with the fresh, zesty flavours.
