I had RedBeard organic sourdough for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. RedBeard is doing a wonderful job to promote the resurgence of authentic sourdough and artisan woodfired baking. Maggie Beer, legendary cook, food author and restaurateur, 2010
A benchmark bakery with a hard-working wood oven that fires RedBeard's sourdough breads, like the crusty Vienna 'Blonde' and the high-tin 'Redhead'. 'Nice Buns', with organic currants, cardamom and preserved oranges sell out fast. The Age Cheap Eats Guide 2011
When you buy “sourdough” bread from another bakery, are you getting the real deal or is it "sour-faux"?
Here’s what we mean by authentic sourdough:
Nothing artificial We use no bakers’ yeast, no added gluten, no other additives such as dough improvers and no preservatives.
Woodfired All our bread and pastries are baked in a 19th century woodfired Scotch oven - one of only a handful still operating in Australia.
100% certified organic Our simple doughs of organic flours, salt and water are transformed by the alchemy of natural fermentation and wood-fired baking into loaves with outstanding colour, texture and flavour.
Handmade All our breads and pastries are shaped by hand using traditional techniques.
