Slow bread, baked at first light.
A small sourdough bakehouse in Norwood. Our dough rests for 36 hours; the loaves last about half a morning. The oven timer shows what's warm right now — tap any bake time to see what came out, and roughly how much is left.

Our slow ferment
36 hours from flour to crust. The recipe card pinned above the bench:
- Day 1 · 4 pmFeed Mabel, our starter — rye flour, water, a warm corner.
- 9 pmMix, rest, then four rounds of stretch-and-fold, half an hour apart.
- OvernightShaped loaves sleep in the cool room at 4°C. That's where the flavour comes from.
- Day 2 · 4:30 amEach loaf is scored by hand — the “ear” is the baker's signature.
- 6:30 amBaked hot with steam for about 40 minutes, then onto the racks.
Why so slow? Flavour, a crackly crust, and a loaf that keeps for days.

Good to know
Our loaves are made without eggs or dairy. We use wheat, rye, spelt, sesame and tree nuts in one small kitchen, so we can't promise anything is allergen-free — ask us and we'll tell you honestly.
