Bread And Roses Information

Bread and Roses are artisan bakers based in Alnwick in Northumberland. We specialise in the production of artisan breads, in particular, authentic naturally-leavened and sourdough breads. Our naturally-leavened breads, available to retail customers at The Good Life Shop in Wooler, The Corbridge Larder and Alnmouth Village Store, include White Levain, Five Grain Levain, Seeded Sourdough and Toasted Brazil Nut & Prune. We are committed to using local ingredients where possible, as well as organic, and we make our standard brown loaf using Gilchesters' wonderful Organic Farmhouse flour. We also specialise in rye sourdough breads and our range includes the wheat-free Moscow Rye, Borodinsky and Black Pumpernickel. We offer a range of breadbaking courses, delivered from our home in Powburn and utilising our wood-fired brick oven. We will show you all the traditional skills needed to bake your own artisan bread in your own home. We bake real artisan rustic bread at our bakery in Alnwick. This is for sale locally and across Northumberland in some of the finer eating establishments: The Jolly Fishermanin Craster, The Ship Inn and The Old Boat House in Amble. You can find us and a wide selection of our breads at Hexham farmers' market and various village shows and food festivals throughout the year. We also offer talks, and demonstrations at a number of these events, so if you'd like to see us in action and get a few hints and tips, check our events diary, and we'll look forward to seeing you there.
