Avocado toast can be as simple or as tarted-up as you like (to feta or not to feta is a bone of contention in the GT office), but citrus and plenty of salt are non-negotiable. Great sourdough makes a perfectly good vehicle for the avo, but this seeded loaf, inspired by Sarah Britton's famed life-changing loaf of bread from her book My New Roots, is next level.
