So we were presented with this at the Herts Food & Drink Awards finals yesterday...Commended in the artisan bakery category!

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, we're so grateful for your support, even though we're not baking at the moment (the nominations opened last year so we don't feel too guilty about accepting it!)

Hello bread lovers! We're more than a little chuffed to find out we've made the top 5 in the Artisan Bakery category at the Herts Food & Drink Awards. A huge thank you to everyone who's voted for us so far. It goes without saying that we'd love to win so if you did fancy voting for us over the next couple of days, we'd be ever so grateful :)

Hello folks,

We’ve been rather quiet of late as we’ve taken some time off to take a break, recharge and ponder the future of the Bakehouse.

A combination of personal reasons, together with day job commitments (the unavoidable thing that pays the bills) means we’ve decided to extend our break even longer. We’re not sure quite when we’ll be baking bread for sale again but rest assured that we will return in some shape or form.

Until then we’re going to continue baking for our own amusement, post some recipes & tips and of course champion all things Real Bread that we hope you’ll find interesting. We want to encourage as many people as possible to bake their own bread so please don’t hesitate to ask if you’d like any advice.

For starters, here is this weekend’s baking. In keeping with my love of all things fermented, I’ve turned my hand to cheese making and used the leftover whey to make a couple of sourdough loaves. The big beast is a Miche ‘Pointe-a-Calliere’ made entirely with organic stoneground flour from Redbournbury Mill.

We're very sorry but we're not going to be at Hitchin Farmers' Market tomorrow as planned.

Our sourdough starter has died unexpectedly and as it goes into practically everything we make, it means we're unable to bake any bread.

We're absolutely gutted to be missing the market but all being well we should have it revived by next weekend so will be baking to order as normal next Saturday.
