9-Inch Organic Seeded Sourdough Bread Loaf

My Organic Seeded Sourdough Bread Loaves bring together the nourishing complexity of natural sourdough with the wholesome power of organic seeds. Each 9-inch loaf is baked in a generously sized banneton, making it significantly larger and more satisfying than most store-bought loaves, which are typically only 7 to 8 inches [16]. This larger format reflects not only the careful shaping and baking process, but also the extended fermentation time that helps unlock the best of every ingredient.

What truly sets this bread apart is the thoughtfully selected seed blend—sprouted organic pumpkin seeds, organic sunflower seeds, organic flaxseeds, and organic sesame seeds—each contributing unique flavor, texture, and nutrition. Sprouting the pumpkin seeds improves mineral absorption by reducing antinutrients such as phytic acid, while the other seeds add valuable fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats that support heart health, satiety, and hormone balance [7–9].

As with all my sourdough loaves, this bread undergoes traditional, slow fermentation using only natural sourdough starter—no commercial yeast, added sugars, or preservatives. This process supports a more balanced blood sugar response and makes the bread easier to digest by breaking down complex starches and gluten [1–6]. While not gluten-free, naturally fermented sourdough may be better tolerated by individuals with mild gluten sensitivities due to this enzymatic breakdown [5].

Commercial breads often contain additives, synthetic pesticides, GMOs, and ultra-processed ingredients—many of which are linked to negative health effects including gut dysbiosis, metabolic disruption, and inflammatory responses [10–14]. My bread is a return to simplicity: just high-quality organic ingredients, expertly handled and slowly fermented to bring out their best.

The technique behind this loaf honors sourdough traditions dating back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, where natural fermentation first gave rise to leavened bread [15]. That legacy lives on in every slice.
