🍞 NEW SOURDOUGH FLAVOUR 🍞

You may have already seen, but if not there’s a new flavour joining our sourdough family!…

Say hello to our Almond Croissant Sourdough! 🥐 It's sweet, and springy and full of almond flavour, the perfect sourdough combination if you ask us. But don't just take our word for it, give it a try!

Our fabulous sourdough range all starts with our unique sourdough starter, which is now over 6 years old!

It’s the heart of so much of what we make — from our pizzas and focaccia to our sweet and savoury bakes.

And because good things take time, our sourdough is made using a three-day-long process, giving it all that beautiful depth of flavour and texture we love.
We’re so excited to share some delicious autumnal flavours with you over the coming weeks…

But first, we want to know — what flavours would YOU love to see?
Sweet, savoury, seasonal… tell us your dream sourdough flavour below! 👇💬

🍓CANALSIDE FARM RASPBERRIES 🍓

With us having lots of tasty raspberries ripe and ready here at Canalside Farm our team are coming up with some tasty ways to enjoy them...

Always wanted to have a go at making jam? Why not give this quick and easy 2 ingredient recipe a go with some of our deliciously sweet raspberries?

All you need, fresh raspberries & honey!

You can make it to the exact consistency that you like, super smooth or a bit lumpy whatever you prefer...

Ingredients
300g raspberries
60ml Honey

1. First combine raspberries and honey in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat and stir frequently. Next, reduce the heat to medium-low heat. Making sure that the mixture is boiling gently and is uncovered. Stir often, until mixture is slightly thickened this will take up to 15 minutes.

2. Mash the remaining berries in the mixture and remove from heat; use a potato mash until your mixture is at your desired consistency. Next be sure to cool completely at room temperature, this will take at least 1 hour. Your mixture will thicken upon cooling.

3. Finally cover and store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 7 days.

ENJOY!
