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.
The baked-to-order concept also means there is
no waste and you receive your order as fresh as it can be.
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.
Most of the flavours are VEGAN-friendly (no animal or dairy products used). The cheese flavoured breads also provide a Vegan alternative using nutritional yeast.
I also offer a small range of GLUTEN FREE breads & bagels. See my Gluten-free range here - Gluten-free.
