Sour dough – home made bread
Sourdough Bread with Olejanka Starter – A Simple Homemade Recipe
There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread filling your home. If you’d like to experience that magic, try this easy sourdough recipe using Olejanka’s starter. It’s a straightforward way to make delicious bread with a crispy crust and rich flavour.
Ingredients:
200 g Olejanka sourdough starter
305 g water
478 g flour
17 g salt
2 tsp nigella seeds
2 tsp flaxseeds
Instructions
-
Prepare the starter:
In a bowl, mix the starter with water. Feed your starter to keep it happy, then store it in the fridge. If you want to bake sooner, let it sit in a warm place for 2–3 hours. -
Make the dough:
Add flour to the starter-water mix and knead for about 3 minutes. I use a stand mixer – it makes dough-making much easier. After 3 minutes, add the salt and seeds, and knead for another 8 minutes. -
Shape the dough:
Place the dough on a glass or stone board – these surfaces stick less. Shape it into a ball and cover with a bowl for 5 minutes. Then reshape it and let it rest for an hour. Repeat this shaping process two more times, every hour. -
Fermentation:
After about 3 hours, dust the dough with durum wheat flour and gently transfer it into a banneton (proofing basket) lined with a cloth. Place the basket in the fridge for 24 hours. -
Baking:
The next day, preheat your oven with a cast iron pot inside to 230°C (445°F) for 25 minutes. Turn the dough out of the basket, score it, and place it on the upside-down lid of the pot. Cover with the pot and lower the temperature to 180°C (355°F). Bake for 25–30 minutes. -
Final bake:
Remove the lid, increase the temperature to 230°C again, and bake for a few more minutes to get that perfectly crispy crust. -
Cooling:
Once baked, transfer the bread onto a cooling rack. Wait 15 minutes before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
And it’s ready!

Potato Salad with Linseed Oil
Ingredients:
- 5 medium potatoes (I love the yellow Albert Barret ones from Lidl)
- 1 small red onion
- 5 medium pickles
- A handful of fresh dill
- A pinch of green chubritsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Flaxseed oil – a good amount, because it really boosts the flavor!
- Optional: grilled or fried bacon, chopped into small pieces
Preparation:
- Cook the potatoes in salted water and let them cool down – they need to be below 35°C; otherwise, the flaxseed oil will lose its benefits.
- Cut the potatoes into chunky cubes and toss them into a bowl.
- Dice the red onion finely and the pickles into slightly bigger pieces – add them to the potatoes.
- Add chopped dill, chubritsa, salt, and pepper.
- If you’re adding bacon, now’s the time to throw it in.
- Drizzle a generous amount of flaxseed oil – don’t hold back, it really makes the flavors pop!
- Gently mix everything so that all the ingredients are nicely coated in the oil.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge – the flavors will meld together and the salad will taste even better.
Perfect as a side for a BBQ, lunch, or just as a healthy snack

Why Freshly Pressed Oils Made to Order Are the Best for You
Why Freshly Pressed Oils Made to Order Are the Best for You
When you think about cold-pressed oils, you probably think: “Healthy!” But did you ever wonder how long that oil was sitting on the shelf before it got to you? At Olejanka, every oil is pressed only after you order. Fresh, aromatic, full of goodness. Why does it matter? Let me tell you!
- Freshness That Makes a Difference
At Olejanka, oils are pressed fresh and sent straight to you. No warehouses, no waiting. Imported oils? They can sit for weeks or even months before you get them. But here? A day or two and you hold a golden bottle packed with Omega-3, vitamins, and all the good stuff your body loves.
- Power of Nutrients
Freshly pressed oil is a super dose of health. At Olejanka, each oil is made from the best seeds, with the whole process on point. Those oils sitting in warehouses for months? By the time they get to you, they’ve already lost half of their goodness. Such a waste, right?
- Taste You Can Feel Right Away
Oil made to order tastes… well, it just tastes! Strong aroma, rich flavor, no boring stuff. Try Olejanka’s flaxseed oil and taste the difference. Old, shelf-sitting oils? Sure, they taste something, but nothing like the fresh stuff – just a faded shadow of what they once were.
“Freshly pressed, delivered in 2 days – Olejanka brings the best straight to your table.”
4. Natural Beauty from the Press
Got dry skin? Or maybe your hair needs some love? Freshly pressed black seed or flaxseed oil is a hydration bomb. Olejanka’s oils are like freshly squeezed juice for your skin. Unlike those on the shelf – they lost their magic ages ago.
5. You Support a Small, Local Business
When you buy made-to-order oils, you choose quality and support a small local business that cares about every detail. Olejanka is a heart-driven workshop. We press, pack, and ship – all with you in mind. And you can really feel it in every drop.
To sum up – made-to-order oil is more than just a product. It’s a piece of health, a taste you won’t forget, and support for someone who does it with passion. Try Olejanka and feel the difference.
