WE’RE HERE, GUYS! 💛🥖

Orders are officially OPEN for my FINAL BAKE DAY! 😭

I’ve increased the availability of the loaves a little after they sold out so quickly last time, so if you’re hoping to grab one of the final loaves, don’t leave it too late!

And I’ve added something to the website that I’ve never offered before… maybe it’s for you, maybe it isn’t! 👀

❄️ FREEZER STOCK — 50% OFF ❄️

I have a small amount of bread from the last few months that didn’t sell at markets and went straight into the freezer. These loaves are now available at 50% off and will be defrosted and refreshed in the oven on the morning of collection.

Because these have already been frozen, please only purchase if you plan to eat them within 2–3 days of collection. They should not be frozen again.

📍 COLLECTION

Collection starts from 10:30am this Wednesday. I have an appointment that morning, so I’ll be starting collection a little later than usual — thank you for bearing with me! 💛

And finally, there’s still a little sourdough starter available to take home this week. 💛

Same deal as last week — if you’ve ordered starter, please remember to bring your clean jar with a lid! An old jam jar is perfect.

This is it. The final one. Order here: https://www.weesourdoughbakery.co.uk/s/order

See you all soon. 🥖💛

💛 THE FINAL TWO BAKE DAYS — HOW TO ORDER 💛

Following last weeks news, I wanted to give you all the practical bits for the final two Wednesday bakes.

For both final bake days, I’ll be going right back to where The Wee Sourdough Bakery began:

🥖 Classic Sourdough
🥖 Seeded Sourdough
🍪 Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ll have limited availability, so please make sure you order early if you’d like one of the final loaves!

FINAL BAKE #1 — Wednesday 26th August
🛒 Orders open: Friday 21st August
⏰ Orders close: Sunday 23rd August at 6pm, or when sold out

FINAL BAKE #2 — Wednesday 9th September
🛒 Orders open: Friday 4th September
⏰ Orders close: Sunday 6th September at 6pm, or when sold out

And for those who have been asking about starter… 💛

I’ll be offering small portions of my active sourdough starter completely FREE to customers, so you can take a little piece of The Wee Sourdough Bakery home and continue your own sourdough journey.

Starter will be available in limited quantities and must be added to your bread order through the website. I will also be giving you a small laminated card with care and maintenance instructions.

🌅 Morning collection: bring a clean jar with a lid and I’ll pop a few tablespoons of starter straight into it.

🌆 Afternoon collection: I’ll send you home with one of my starter jars. Please bring a clean, empty jar with a lid to swap, so I can keep the jars circulating between collections.

An old jam jar is absolutely perfect — no fancy sourdough equipment required! 😂

The website is now updated with all the information and the starter option, so have a little look before orders open.

Two more Wednesday bakes. Let’s make them count. 🥖💛

It’s not all doom and gloom here even with our less happy news this week… and I’m not the only person who makes some yummy sourdough fairly local! We had a delightfully picky dinner to help us come to the end of the summer holidays! Jessica had an absolutely great time coming with me to market to pick up some bread and pastries from Anne Keenan and then on to Banff Gourmet for a selection of cheeses, crisps and some yummy chocolate covered cherries! We are absolutely stuffed and we haven’t even opened our chocolate covered marshmallows yet!

I come with some sad news today. 💛

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the very difficult decision to close The Wee Sourdough Bakery in mid-September, with just two more Wednesday bake days to go.

For the past eight months I’ve been dealing with a chronic cough which became significantly worse as the bakery got busier through May and June. After looking into whether there could be a connection with my work, flour exposure has become a very obvious concern.

I’m currently working with my doctors to establish whether this is an allergy or another form of airway irritation. While we don’t have a definitive answer yet, I’m not willing to take the risk of continuing to expose myself to flour at the level the bakery requires and potentially making things worse in the long term.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision because I absolutely love what I’ve built here. But I have to listen to what my body is telling me.

So for the final two Wednesday bakes, we’re going right back to the beginning:

🥖 Classic Sourdough
🥖 Seeded Sourdough
🍪 Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies

Availability will be limited, so please order early if you’d like one last loaf. I’ll also have some sourdough starter available at collection for anyone who would like to continue their own sourdough journey. 💛

While the bakery as you know it is coming to an end, I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to sourdough. I have lots of ideas for what might come next, from recipes and tutorials to classes and other sourdough projects.

And finally, thank you.

Thank you for the most amazing 20 months. What started as a little idea in my kitchen became something I could never have imagined. Thank you for every order, market visit, message, recommendation, share and kind word.

I’m incredibly sad this chapter is ending, but I’m also incredibly proud of what we’ve built.

Here’s to the final two bakes. Let’s make them count. 🥖💛

After a couple of days of busy market prep and Banff Fayres itself, it’s finally time to sit down and relax! 😮‍💨💛

I even managed to pick up a lovely bottle of gin from Twistillery to enjoy after a very tasty supper from The Curry Wifey . 🍸🍛

Honestly, the perfect way to finish off a market day!

Now… feet up! 😴

And the baking for tomorrow’s Banff Fayres begins! The oven is only in its warm phase for the sweet bakes right now and it will be red hot later tonight as I work my way through the loaves, buns and focaccia!
