Jason's Sourdough Proper Sourdough Crumpets have been added to the UK-based brand's product portfolio as a high-quality bread option that puts a free-from recipe in the spotlight.
The bread product features the classic shape and composition of traditional crumpets yet has no yeast, sugar or additives in the mix. This includes no preservatives, emulsifiers or seed oils to give them a simple taste and texture that will work well in variety of applications. The delicately crisp crumpets are made using only flour, water, salt and fermented wheat flour.
Master Baker Jason Geary spoke on Jason's Sourdough Proper Sourdough Crumpets saying, "Crumpets are a completely new segment for us, and this launch marks an exciting step in the growth of our brand. We’ve taken our traditional sourdough approach and applied it to a product that families and food lovers already know and enjoy. It’s a natural expansion of our range and shows the versatility of Sourdough – it’s about combining innovation with tradition, keeping the ingredients simple and maintaining exceptional quality.”
