Sourdough Bread Christmas Ornament

For the person who has a sourdough starter with its own name.

Yup in de Boom has recreated everyone's favourite artisan loaf as a glass Christmas decoration, complete with a deep golden-brown crust, beautifully scored top and a generous dusting of white flour. There's even a little sparkle worked into the crust, which seems entirely appropriate for a loaf destined for the Christmas tree.

It's a particularly good one for the friend who got really into bread making and never quite stopped. The one who talks about hydration percentages, owns a Dutch oven specifically for baking and thinks nothing of spending two days making a loaf that disappears in ten minutes.

The warm coppery glass catches the Christmas lights beautifully, while the raised detailing gives it the appearance of a proper bakery sourdough. Finished with a gold hanging cord, it's ready to take its place among your decorations.

Presented in a blue and olive-green striped gift box, this is a brilliant Christmas gift for keen bakers, bread enthusiasts and anyone who believes a really good crust deserves a little recognition.
