Our sourdough philosophy is balance.
Sourdough is a type of bread that is leavened through naturally occurring wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a distinctive tangy flavour and chewy texture.
The fermentation process not only enhances its taste but also improves its digestibility and shelf life, making it a popular choice among artisan bakers and home enthusiasts alike.
With a crisp crust and a soft, open crumb, sourdough can be enjoyed in numerous ways, from simple slices slathered with butter to complex sandwiches layered with gourmet ingredients. Its cultivation often involves a sourdough starter, a mixture of flour and water salt that captures wild ensimes from the environment, creating the perfect conditions for bread-making through slow fermentation.
Real bread. Beautiful Pastries. No secrets. Just time.
We bake certified organic sourdough, handcrafted from Australian flour, water, salt, and our famous mother culture — ‘Mum’. It’s bread with soul: long-fermented, naturally leavened, and loved by Nambour and hinterland bread lovers.
