Bread
We make our bread using the following rules:
- All of our products are freshly made every day.
- We do not put additives or preservatives in our bread, and all products are made in the traditional way, on the same day of purchase.
- We use untreated, unbleached flour and do not add fats or sugars to our bread. We have written assurances from our suppliers that none of the ingredients that we use contain any genetically modified materials and all products can be traced to source.
Our aim is to ensure that our traditional craft of bread baking is maintained to produce high quality, fresh bread daily. Come and visit us at our shop, Bakery or at any of our local farmers markets and you will be able to choose from a wide selection of our fresh products...
Including the following types of speciality breads:
Olive bread: White dough. Covered with extra virgin olive oil and mixed with chopped green and black olives (that we marinate ourselves!) baked in a round tin.
Cheese, Basil and Tomato bread: White dough. Hand moulded into a bloomer shape then sliced down the centre and filled with chopped tomato, cheese and covered with basil.
Cheese and Onion bread: White dough. Hand moulded bloomer sliced down the centre and filled with freshly chopped onion and a handful of cheese.
NEW! HARVEST BREAD: This bread is fantastic! This is made using an interesting blend of our flours and is a very healthy and tasty loaf. The dough is left for a long overnight fermentation before apricots, oats, sunflower seeds and special cracked and kibbled wheat are added. It is rolled in water and oats before baking to give it a fascinating appearance and delicious crust
Wholemeal and Rye bread: Stoneground wholemeal flour and rye flour, both from Cann water mills in Shaftesbury. A combination of these two flours makes a traditional and tasty rye loaf. (This is probably not suitable for those with wheat allergies/intolerance)
Sunflower Seed loaf: 100% wholemeal dough. Sunflower seeds hand moulded into a tin shape and then covered with more seeds on top!
Spelt Bread: Spelt flour (Triticum Spelta) unlike its distant cousin, common wheat (Triticum Aestivum) has been around for several thousand years and has not been commercially tampered with through selective breeding.
The nutritious, highly water soluble kernel has a distinctive nutty taste which is protected by an impervious outer glume.
Spelt flour can be substituted for wheat flour in most recipes although it is advisable to shorten the time of fermentation and proving due to the differences in the make up of the flour.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!! Every body who has tasted our DORSET BLUE VINNEY LOAF will agree that it is a winner! We invented it as a one off especially for the Sturminster newton cheese festival and it was so popular that we sold out after a couple of hours! We estimate that we use over a
TON of Dorset blue vinney in a year!
