Firebrand Bakery

Firebrand

David and Dianne have baked at Firebrand since 1987. They are the original owners and retain the 100% sourdough ethic that got them started.

Breads are entirely hand shaped and baked in a 1930's wood fired oven. The bakery uses organic, biodynamic and unbleached flours.

Firebrand's shop is unpretentious and is what it is. These bakers don't need to shout loud because the bread speaks for itself.

Flourless cakes, chocolate brownies, sugar free muffins and gourmet sourdough pizzas accompany the bread range.

Baker, Andrew Connole

Sonoma

Sonoma are not strictly organic, and often use a mix of
organic and non-organic flours. This flour combination helps to ensure
consistently attractive looking bread, as organic flour is sometimes
less predictable than conventional baker's flour (baker's flour may alos be legally 'enriched' with non-organic milling suplements and nutritional additives).

Danielle and Michael

Plump Harvest

Plump's sourdough has previously been made by commercially trained bakers, but owners Michael and Danielle wanted the ultimate freedom of doing it their way. This gutsy move has paid off; the bread is absolutely spectacular and Michael and Danielle can tell you exactly how they made it; how the dough was a little too wet or the oven was mis-behaving,  and how they worked the time and the temperature to produce the best possible outcome.
