We knead
We’re suckers for a great sourdough here at Appetite HQ and the range at PureKnead is the best you’ll get, made using traditional techniques over 48 hours using only flour, water and salt… no additives, no improvers and just as it should be. PureKnead, Park View, Whitley Bay and Dean Street, Newcastle, www.pure-knead.co.uk
