  • Breads

    We take pride in the fact that our breads are made using traditional methods, which ultimately means that they are given the time to develop flavour through various pre-fermentations, which are then added to the final dough some 12 to 16 hours later. Our Breads are also baked in a wood-fired brick bread oven, which produces a loaf with excellent crust and crumb. Here are some of our breads.

    • Five Grain
      Five Grain
      Our very popular crusty Five Grain loaf. A yeasted bread with sunflower and sesame seeds, rye chops, wheat and oats.

              • Pumpernickel
                Pumpernickel
                There are many breads labelled 'Pumpernickel'. Unfortunately, they all too often do not have the texture, depth of flavour or character of a proper Pumpernickel. Our Pumpernickel has a dense, close, slightly chewy crumb and is baked very slowly overnight. This long slow bake adds to its taste and flavour. It is sliced thinly by hand, 10 slices to a pack. In Denmark, Pumpernickel is traditionally served as an open sandwich and topped with smoked fish, shellfish, cold cuts or cheese; a Smørrebrød essential!

                  Baguette
                  The classic French Baguette. Our Baguettes include a poolish pre-ferment and are made using the improved mixing method. The poolish adds flavour and the mixing method reduces the amount of oxygen into the dough, which in turn, preserves overall flavour.

This is then mixed with butter and laminated through the dough with sugar, lemon and orange zest, currants and raisins. The dough is then baked in a sugared pan which produces a caramelized top.
