The Concept.
What is Starter Stories?
It is a tiny home-based bakery which I (Shiv) started purely out of my own personal need for delicious tasting German style bread.
Half a jar of 'sourdough starter' borrowed from a friend, a little bit of creativity and LOTS of practice & patience, gave birth to this passion project - Starter Stories.
I bake each loaf to order, using a variety of flours and 'sourdough starter' which is a naturally fermented yeast. It is easier to digest & lighter on your gut compared to commercial yeast.
Are the breads organic / vegan / gluten free?
My sourdough loafs are not certified as 'ORGANIC'. And while I try to mostly buy organic ingredients, sometimes it's just not possible. In which case, the general rule is to make sure my ingredients have no artificial flavours or preservatives. Most herbs used are straight from my own backyard.
All the flavours are VEGAN-friendly (i.e. no animal or dairy products used). The cheese flavoured breads also provide a healthy vegan alternative using nutritional yeast.
Currently I don't offer GLUTEN FREE breads. But in future I might! ;)
