Our Advice
Snowy and Twiglet are happy to inform you about ways to make the most of your bread, and what it could be used for. Their guidance will help you through the days of delight with a sourdough in the house.
Freezing the bread helps!
Freeze It!
Putting your sourdough in a cold place helps preserve the bread to last longer without the risk of mould/bacterias getting into it. A trick is to put it in a plastic/waterproof sealed bag and leave it in the fridge or freezer until you want to eat again. Our reccomendation is a freezer but a fridge or bread bin would also work.
Toast It!
When the bread starts to go hard, our advice is to pop it in the toaster. Snowy and Twiglet find this a win-win for everyone; not only does it enable the bread to regain its tastiness but also, who doesn't like a good slice of toast? This method also fixes a quick and easy- but delicious- breakfast. To find out more, read on!
Dip It!
Nothing beats dipping sourdough-fresh or hard- into humus. This delicious dip combines with the sour bread elegantly, merging into a wonderfully tasteful masterpiece. A tip is to cut the bread into small pieces as bite-size nibbles perfect for parties and other entertainment. If you enjoy that, try other dips- anything goes, including smashed avacado!
Sourdough for breakfast. What's not to like?
Breakfast It!
At the bakery, our at-home advice is to make your sourdough into a morning masterpiece . A common favourite is scrambled eggs on sourdough toast; our bread, your scrambled eggs, but there's another trendy way of enjoying sourdough when it's too hard for sandwiches- smashed avacado, poached eggs and, of course, sourdough toast. A sprinkle of salt and pepper would go down well on both meals too. Snowy and Twiglet would be happy to help you with the details when you buy from our bakery!

Share It!
When our delicious sourdough eventually reaches its end and becomes too hard to eat, nature calls! Beautiful nature beckons in every coner, and the poor,starving birds deserve lovely bread too. Chop what is left of your sourdough into very small cubes, no bigger than a blueberry. Then, soak in water for 3 hours to ensure it is soft for the smaller birds to safely swallow it. Drying the bread is optional. Scatter outdoors, and make sure it is spread evenly. Please be mindful not to feed this to ducks as they may catch a deadly disease called Angel Wing, a condition caused by eating bread of any type. Please also be aware to only leave out bread occasionly, and definitely do not put out cake!
Please don't feed the ducks bread!
