Against the stunning scenes of the Brecon Beacons is a small town that certainly packs a punch, with 100 independent shops lining its high street, without any empty shops

A new bakery has opened in New York, which is causing a bit of a stir, but it's given Magda and myself an idea for a new bread.

Each grain will be individually hand-picked at dawn, but only during a new moon, when the fields are spiritually aligned and the grain has reached peak consciousness.

The water will come from a remote Brecon spring, naturally filtered through 40,000-year-old rocks and the collective good intentions of the local community. The salt will be hand-harvested by monks who have taken a vow of silence, because apparently regular salt would ruin the loaf.

The dough is going to be fermented for exactly 72 hours in a temperature-controlled room where nobody is allowed to raise their voice or think negative thoughts. It will then be shaped by your very own artisan bakers who will be studying for PhDs in rocket science, molecular gastronomy and existential philosophy. Each loaf will be inspected individually for structural integrity, emotional balance and crust-to-crumb harmony.

Finally, it will be baked using a carefully curated heat and allowed to rest while contemplating its purpose in life.

Four ingredients. £60.

It’s not bread. It’s a spiritual journey with a crust.

We don't make celebration cakes, but a shout-out to Bethan at Wayward Flours who can often be found over at Natural Weigh. She made this lovely cake for my birthday back in July.

Whilst celebration cakes aren’t something we offer, we can at least take a good photo of one — and point any enquiries in Bethan’s direction! Give her a follow and keep her in mind next time you need a cake for a special occasion. 🙌
