The Doorstep Bakery

Very sorry to have to report that Sallie has broken her arm and is due to have surgery on Thursday. Graham will be devoting his time to looking after her this weekend so he will not be able to bake to sell bread at Burbage Farmers’ Market. We hope this is a short term set back and look forward to being back on the market in March. Best wishes to all our customers.

Mr Bun is exercising his muscles ready to start baking again in February. This is where you can find him. First Saturday - #BurbageFarmersMarket Second Saturday - #CastleDoningtonFarmersMarket Third Saturday - #BeestonFarmersMarket Fourth Sunday - Doorstep Bakery's Baking Experience... during #RealBreadWeek

To celebrate Real Bread week (23rd Feb to 3rd Mar) we will be holding our first Baking Experience of 2019. So if you are fed up with pappy supermarket bread and want a touch of the real deal we can show you how. Sunday 24th Feb 9am - 4pm approx Cost £100.00 Refreshments and lunch included. Suitable for vegans.

A Very Happy Christmas to all our Customers and we look forward to bringing you our super sourdough (and lots more delicious breads and cakes) in February next year.

It is very sad that we have to announce that, due to Graham's sudden and unforeseen illness, we will have to close the bakery until early 2019. Once recuperation from his operation is complete he will be back baking with enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing our customers again in early February.

There's lots of fun and games going on downstairs in the bakery. It's our monthly Baking Experience and Andy, Simon, George and Esther are baking up a storm! Next month's course is fully booked but we thought we'd squeeze in a Festive Baking Day on Sat 24th November. Any interested wouldbe bakers? #bakingcourses #realbread #christmasiscoming #festivebake #wouldbebaker #leicestershire

The Doorstep Bakery has been selling bread and cakes in Wymeswold for six months. Whilst we have been happy to see how much our bread has been appreciated by our customers, sadly, the demand has not grown to a level which makes the current arrangement sustainable. We hope that you will bear with us while we look at other ways of supplying our products. In the meantime, look out for us at markets and events in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Thank you for all your support over the last six months.

Mr Bun says: “Why organic?” At the Doorstep Bakery we choose only to use organic flour in our bread. It adds to our production costs so why do we make this choice. It’s simple. This is the only way we can minimise the risk of the presence of glyphosate in our loaves. In 2013 a report published by the Health and Safety Executive on pesticide residues in food stated that more than two thirds of bread sold in the UK contained residues of chemical pesticides and herbicides, the m...ost common of which was glyphosate. Without wishing to enter the debate as to whether glyphosate is or is not harmful to human health, what we believe is that, whilst there is uncertainty over the issue, it is better to avoid introducing it into our food. Glyphosate is banned from use in organic farming, so we only use organic flour. This was a simple choice for us to make. We also believe that the use of the best quality flour improves the flavour of our bread. Hopefully this means that our customers can buy our loaves with confidence that the bread both tastes good and is healthy.
