Have you ever made sourdough bread? You can’t just one day decide to bake a loaf from scratch and eat it with dinner. It’s a process and you need a starter that takes a least a week to make..if you are lucky.


Which is why real sour dough without any yeast (especially whole wheat, which takes longer to rise) is expensive & hard to find. If OP finds something cheaper, it’s probably not what OP’s looking for.

I don't know enough about sourdough to say if they use yeast or not, but I buy a loaf every Saturday from Atwater's (Baltimore based) at the Dupont Farmer's market every Sunday and it's great!

What an asinine response.

"You know, instead of asking a quick question on the internet and having a great loaf in your hands within an hour you could spend weeks cultivating a sourdough starter, then spend even more weeks learning how to mix, knead, proof, shape, and bake a decent no-yeast sourdough loaf, wasting pounds and pounds of food in the process because baking good bread is and incredibly difficult artisan skill that people spend their entire lives mastering."

Yes, of course they COULD make it, but that's not what they asked nor is your response a remotely practical suggestion you dunce.

Drum roll please....the winner for us (though my wallet hates this) is Seylou.

Fresh Baguette said they used yeast, so that was out for us. Same with Bread Furst.

MOM's had organic true sourdough bread (no yeast), but it was not really whole wheat ("wheat" was the first ingredient). About $6.

Seylou's is almost perfect for us. No yeast, organic, and so whole wheat it feels like a German grandmother would feed it to me. Yet still tasty. And so beautifully sour. Two gripes: (1) they don't slice it (maybe I'm gauche for asking, but really? what bakery doesn't have a slicer?) and (2) OMG the price--$12 for one loaf. So thank you (and curse you!) PP who suggested it. (And if anyone has any more wallet-friendly suggestions, I'm all ears!)


PP here - you're welcome. Sorry about the wallet lol.

Seylou is pretty good, the pan au levain is 100% whole wheat. Menu lists ingredients - https://www.seylou.com/daily-menu

Does anyone know where I can find this? Looking for true sourdough--so no yeast added. I know I can make it, but I won't! I used to order the Bread Alone brand in bulk from Fresh Direct and throw it in my freezer, but Fresh Direct no longer delivers to the DC area. I live in MD but will drive anywhere and stock up. Thanks!!
