I switched my usual sourdough bread for delicious alternative I'm now obsessed with

It's hard to remember a time when I wasn't obsessed with sourdough bread. Because what do you mean I used to buy horrible, dry, pre-sliced wholemeal bread I thought was 'healthy' when I could have been enjoying a good slice of sourdough instead?

I've tried plenty of different supermarket varieties, and of course I'm a big fan of Jason's too. White or ciabatta is usually my go-to as it's usually the most readily available, but I recently ditched this for a different variety. Honestly, I think I might be converted for good - and sourdough fans will be absolutely obsessed with it.

There's no gatekeeping around here, and I've actually never heard anyone talking about this, which is surprising considering how good it tastes. Feeling crazy one weekend, I swapped out my usual white sourdough in favour of a delicious olive and basil sourdough instead.

Despite being a huge fan of bread, this was something I'd never come across before, usually opting for a plain loaf to top with scrambled eggs, avocado, or whatever my fixation of the moment might be.

But this flavour sounded delicious - olives and basil get a big yes from me - and it was made by Jason's too, so you know it's going to be good.

Firing up the toaster, I prepared myself a little snack plate with some sliced cheddar, smoked tofu and salted tomatoes, topping it off with the star of the show - a slice of the olive sourdough, still warm and dripping with butter.

They really didn't scrimp on the olives, as you could see parts flecked throughout the bread, and it gave off a lovely herby aroma when it came out the toaster. And fortunately, it tasted brilliant too.

It still had that distinctive tang and chewy texture that my usual sourdough has, but with so much more flavour. In terms of taste, it's not a million miles away from pesto, and it wasn't long before I was shoving another slice in the toaster to enjoy.

In typical sourdough fashion, there are only a few key ingredients, making this the perfect loaf if you're trying to reduce your consumption of ultra-processed foods. The slices are massive too, but my only complaint would be that you simply don't get enough in a pack.

I've tried it with eggs, avocado, sandwiches and salads, and it has been truly gorgeous every time. This is definitely one for the savoury fans, and I only wish I'd discovered it earlier in summer, as it would have been the perfect summery snack paired with a glass of wine out in the garden.

A loaf of this bread costs £2.50 from Tesco, but it's currently sold out, so you best believe I will be checking back every day so that I can get my hands on it again.
