Heartland Grain Sourdough Bread (Sliced)

This hearty wheat bread is infused with organic, local grains, as well as whole toasted pumpkin seeds. A touch of honey adds a subtle sweetness balanced by the grains and whole wheat flour. This versatile, soft crusted loaf is topped with even more pumpkin seeds, oats and cornmeal, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

Producer notes:
Mediterra Bakery is a Pittsburgh staple founded in 2001 by Nick Ambeliotis. Their mission “is to take one of the oldest and simplest forms of food known to man and perfect it.” Mediterra’s baking techniques stem from French tradition. All of their dough is made in small batches that rise naturally using the power of a 50 year old sourdough levain starter. The quality of a Mediterra loaf starts with the grain, as they grow their own organic heritage red fife grain on 35 acres of land in Arizona. The grain is then milled using a stone ground mill allowing for maximum flavor and nutrition retention from the grain.
