Jason's Sourdough Crumpet Thins Have a Light, Crispy Texture

Jason's Sourdough Crumpet Thins are the bakery brand's latest addition to its sourdough lineup that targets consumer texture preferences to help them access a premium experience from the comfort of home.

The product features the brand's signature crumpet dough with only four ingredients including flour, water, salt and fermented wheat flour. The crumpet is baked very thinly to accommodate being toasted to an extra-crispy consistency for a satisfying crunch that isn't too hard. The bakery product is being rolled out now in the UK in packs with eight servings priced at £2.

Master Baker Jason Geary commented on the Jason's Sourdough Crumpet Thins saying, "After the success of our original Proper Sourdough Crumpets, Crumpet Thins felt like a natural next step. We’ve focused on creating something that gives you that satisfying crunch, with the same deep, authentic sourdough flavour people love. They are lighter, more versatile, and perfect for snacking, but still crafted with the quality and care that defines what we do."
