The rise and fall of sourdough shows that lockdown tastes are waning

'Members of the Real Bread Campaign, which represents independent bakers, are sourdough purists who are miffed that the code permits bread containing commercial yeast to be marketed as sourdough under such weaselly locutions as “with sourdough” and “sourdough flavour”. They propose an Honest Crust Act to separate the sourdough from the sourfaux.'

Sourdough gets first-ever code of practice from bakers’ association

The Real Bread Campaign co-ordinator Chris Young comments on new guidelines:  “The codes’ authors came late to the sourdough game but, rather than playing according to practices established over more than four decades by the UK custodians of the craft, they decided to write their own rules.”
