SEATTLE, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Essential Baking, one of the fastest-growing sourdough brands, is bringing 30 years of artisan sourdough expertise to the sandwich aisle with the launch of four new Organic Sandwich Sourdough Loaves, now available at Target stores nationwide.

Made for the way people eat today, the new lineup combines authentic sourdough with the convenience of an everyday sandwich bread. Consumers can choose from Oats & Honey, Multigrain, Artisan White, and Cinnamon - making it easier to bring a little more flavor, quality and craftsmanship to everything from morning toast to lunchtime sandwiches and after-school snacks.

Every loaf is Organic, Non-GMO, crafted with avocado oil and an authentic sourdough starter. Three varieties proudly carry The Whole Grains Council stamp, delivering 9 to 15 grams of whole grains per slice, including nutrient-dense superfoods like millet, flax, and oats.
