Sourdough - A unique expression of time, place and craft

 

Sourdough is at the heart of our baking, and we take great pride in the time-honored process that makes it so special. Unlike conventional bread, sourdough is naturally leavened, relying on wild yeast and bacteria to create its signature tangy flavour and chewy texture.

What makes sourdough truly unique is that every loaf is a reflection of the person and place that made it. The wild yeast and bacteria in each baker’s environment create a distinct flavour and texture, shaped by the local air, flour, and even the baker’s own microbiome. 


No two sourdoughs are ever quite the same—each is a unique expression of time, place, and craft.


Our process begins with our carefully nurtured starter—a living culture of flour and water that has been fermented over time. This slow fermentation allows the dough to develop deep, complex flavours while also making it easier to digest. We use only the finest flours ensuring a wholesome, nutrient-rich loaf.


Each sourdough loaf is handcrafted with care, undergoing a long fermentation process before being expertly baked to achieve a crisp, golden crust and a soft, airy crumb. The result is a bread that is not only delicious but also packed with natural goodness, perfect for pairing with sweet or savoury accompaniments.

Sourdough baking is a beautiful tradition that anyone can take part in, and we encourage everyone to try making their own bread in this time-honored way. But if you’d like to experience the unique character of our sourdough, crafted with care and patience, we'd love to share our passion with you. 

Preorder

Sourdough bread and baguettes can be reserved for the following day on a first come first served basis. The best way to do that is come to the bakery and we can see whether we have bread available for you. If you can't make it in do send us a query using the form below. As pastries, cakes and other bakes change regularly with the best local produce and the seasons they are not available for preorder but can be purchased on the day from out counter
