How to care for your sourdough
Sourdough lasts for several days due to the high hydration of the dough. Keep it in the paper bag it comes in for two days to keep the crustiness. Then transfer to a plastic bag to stop it drying out. Sourdough makes amazing toast. You can also revive the bread to its initial freshness after a few days by putting it in the oven for a few minutes
It also freezes very well, so if you buy a large loaf you can slice it and freeze half of it. You can take it out a slice at a time and toast it from frozen.

Why You’ll Love Us
I am a naturopath, interested in producing nutritious and healthy food. I have been experimenting with all of the heritage flours, Emmer, Einkorn, Khorasan, Maris Widgeon, Rye and Spelt. Sourdough is much kinder on the gut than modern yeasted wheat bread. The wild yeasts get to work on the carbohydrate and start breaking it down during the long fermentation stage. By the time it reaches the gut is is easy to digest. The wholegrain flour has a high nutritional content.
Individual sourdough requests may be able to be accommodated. Please contact me.

Real Bread
All breads adhere to the real bread campaign recommendations. No additives or enhancers.
All bread will be free of pesticides and other agrochemicals because all grain, particularly wheat, will be grown by biodynamic, certified organic or other low-to-no-input farming.
All my ingredients are locally sourced as much as possible, and organic where possible. Currently my linseed is of Indian origin, but Mungoswells, Scotland have recently started growing linseed and we will be using that soon.
What is in our sourdough?
Organic heritage flour, sea salt. That is it! Unless of course we add organic seeds or nuts etc to add to our tasty breads!

Best pizza ever…. This dough is very versatile. You could make za’atar manakish, Italian flatbreads, focaccia or pizza with it. It makes the most crisp, delicious pizza base I’ve ever made, using just ordinary bread flour. I use Marriage’s organic flour. There are specialist pizza flours out there which I’ve tried, but this recipe has…

Khorasan and Linseed sourdough
This is my Gold award winning recipe. I used a stone baked artisan oven, but you can create this at home in a domestic oven. White spelt is extraordinary to work with as an artisan flour. Creamy and light, offering a fantastically pleasing oven spring. I use brown linseed as it is the type grown…

I make wheat free. As I make them in a bakery with flour, I can’t call them gluten free, as they are not suitable for those with a severe intolerance to gluten.
