There’s something undeniably comforting about a loaf of sourdough, the crackle of the crust, the chew of the crumb, the rich, tangy aroma straight from the oven. But when you add turmeric and cracked black pepper to the mix, you get a bold flavour, striking colour, and a little dose of wellness.

Beyond their distinct taste and colour, turmeric and black pepper are a well-known power pair in the wellness world. Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with anti-inflammatory properties. Black pepper enhances curcumin’s absorption in the body thanks to piperine. So, while we don’t make any health claims, it’s nice to think your morning toast might be doing more than just satisfying your hunger.

Expect a flavour that’s familiar yet unexpected. The sourdough base brings its characteristic tang and chew, while the turmeric and pepper add a little spice without overpowering.

How would we recommend you enjoy it? Turmeric and pepper sourdough is as versatile as it is beautiful. Here are a few of our favourite pairings:

• Toasted with poached eggs and greens
• Layered with roasted vegetables and hummus
• Torn up for dipping into soups and curries
• Grilled with cheese for an earthy twist on a toastie

Next time you’re in the mood for trying something a little bit different, give this loaf a try. It might just become your new favourite.
