Red Beard Scotch Oven Sourdough Trentham

Our authentic sourdough range

When you buy “sourdough” bread from another bakery, are you getting the real deal? Here’s what we mean by authentic sourdough:

Nothing artificial – we use no bakers’ yeast or artificial additives such as dough improvers and preservatives

Woodfired – All our bread and pastries are baked in a 120 year wood-fired scotch oven - one of only about six still operating in Australia

100% 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
