August 20 – Sourdough bread won the Saint Stephen’s Day bread competition
Heim Endre won this year’s St. Stephen’s Day bread competition of the Hungarian Bakers’ Association with his sourdough bread, and the young talent of Heim Sütöde in Dunabogdány tricked Marcsi Borbás, the ambassador of the program series, into tricks – the association informed MTI on Thursday.
The organization emphasized that the competition was organized in 2023 in the spirit of tradition and innovation.
Sourdough technology was used to create this year’s St. Stephen’s Day bread, so the winning product is a wild sourdough bread. This essentially means that it contains no yeast, just flour, water and salt.
The winning product is durum bread, for which roughly 75 percent durum flour and 25 percent BL 80 bread flour were used.
Its special feature is that it is fermented for a long time, for 16 hours, in a special refrigerator that operates at a higher temperature than home refrigerators, the announcement states.
