The Art and Science of Baking Sourdough to Support Health

It’s about more than bread—it’s about baking with purpose, a delicious stand for the world we want. Baking long, slow-fermented bread is a quiet, beautiful resistance to the globalisation of our bread. Crafting artisan loaves with ingredients to bring our communities together is activism that supports mental well-being and nourishes those we love.

Learn more from Baker, Dr Vanessa Kimbell, as she inspires a slower, more nourishing approach to baking, with thoughtful recipes, nutritional insights, and artisan knowledge that will transform the way you bake, eat, and share bread.

Khorasan (Kamut)

Khorasan (Triticum turgidum subsp. turanicum) is an ancient form of wheat, named after the historical region of what is now Iran. Grains of Khorasan are larger than modern wheats and it is enjoyed for its rich, nutty flavour. It is a good source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.

Studies suggest that Khorasan may have health benefits for people with type 2 diabetes, those at risk of cardiovascular disease and people living with IBS.

You may find Khorasan flour listed under its commercial name of Kamut flour.
