thank you all for your continued support - we love seeing your lovely faces each bake week.

a little note to let you know that the team will be taking a well-deserved week off next week after working so hard with limited staff. we’re taking a moment to rest and recharge before the busy christmas period begins.

we have some exciting new products arriving on our shelves when we return, alongside our christmas specials as we head into the festive season. we hope you’re just as excited as we are!

if you’d like to keep your loaf favourites going while we’re away, we recommend stocking up for the week ahead.

the good news is that our sourdough, breads and buns freeze beautifully, making it easy to enjoy them long after bake day. simply freeze while fresh, then defrost when you’re ready to enjoy.

thank you again for supporting our little bakery. we can’t wait to see you when we’re back, rested, refreshed and ready for christmas!

our seeded rye bread, crafted with organic, local British rye flour, salt and water, and packed with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, millet, barley, oats and organic molasses.

we use locally milled British flour to stay true to traditional, unbleached milling methods while also reducing food miles. sourcing locally means our flour doesn’t have to travel far from farm to fork, helping to reduce the carbon emissions associated with transport.

we use Meridian Foods molasses because it is organically grown and certified to Fairtrade standards. Meridian values putting the planet first without compromising on taste, using clean ingredients and making use of an upcycled by-product that could otherwise be treated as waste.

not to mention the taste and nutritional value of our rye bread.

packed with fibre, our seeded rye combines complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals into one nutrient-dense loaf.

rye is naturally lower GI, meaning it can help support steadier blood sugar levels and keep you feeling fuller for longer.

the fibre-rich loaf also supports your digestive system and acts as a prebiotic that helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a healthy gut environment.

our rye loaf really is a little bit magical! nourishing, delicious and made with thoughtful ingredients from the inside out.

and even better? it doesn’t cost $60 The New York Times

start of the week, start of feeling good and getting back into a routine that prioritises both your physical and mental wellbeing

stocking up on our whole food goodies can help nourish your body throughout the week, helping you feel the best you can

we don’t use additives, artificial ingredients or anything unrecognisable in our bakes - just simple, quality ingredients and time-honoured processes

choosing naturally fermented sourdough, alongside wholesome sweet treats, works in harmony with the body’s digestive processes and can support overall wellbeing

the gut and the brain are closely connected, with OVER 90% of the body’s serotonin being produced in the gut!

nourishing yourself with whole foods and fibre-rich ingredients can support gut health, which may positively influence mood and overall wellbeing

starting the day with a slice of sourdough and your favourite simple topping can be a small act of self-care - whether you’re resetting after the weekend or simply continuing habits that help you feel good

the week ahead can feel busy, but little choices - like returning to clean, nourishing ingredients - can make all the difference

we’ve been particularly short-staffed this week while clare has been recovering from her operation, so we know the queues have been a little longer than usual

we’re so grateful for your patience and kindness while our little team has been working extra hard to keep everything running

the good news is we’ve recruited some amazing new people who will be joining the team from next week, so we’re looking forward to having a few more hands on deck

thank you, as always, for supporting us and bearing with us this week - we appreciate you more than you know !!

another conscious, ethical choice from the loaf team

with the climate crisis intensifying due to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, our planet is approaching critical tipping points and increasingly severe consequences

we have decided to use only Oatly in all of our hot and iced drinks

oat milk produces significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional dairy milk, while also requiring less land and water to produce

at loaf, we believe we can meet our individual needs for fresh, tasty baked goods and great coffee without compromising the needs of future generations

alongside our focaccia, made using 100% regenerative flour from WILDFARMED - we’ve made another conscious choice to use sustainably produced cold pressed extra virgin olive oil from Honest Toil Olive Oil

small-batched, locally produced and manually harvested directly from their small farms in Kyparissia, Greece, Honest Toil Olive Oil puts quality at the heart of everything they do, whilst working to leave the smallest environmental impact possible

from production and packaging through to distribution and disposal, environmental consideration is embedded throughout the product’s life cycle

we use honest toil across our focaccia, as well as in our house-made spreads and sauces, and you can also take a bottle home with you

once you’ve finished, bring your bottle back to the bakery for a refill at a reduced price, helping us keep packaging and waste to a minimum

while our goodies satisfy your tastebuds, we want to make sure we leave as little trace behind as possible!

every choice we make, and every purchase you make with us, helps us continue to build a more considered and sustainable way of doing things

a little focaccia going into a goodie bag - but there’s more behind it than what’s inside

back in december 2021, we made the conscious choice to switch our focaccia to 100% regenerative flour and using a blend into our other baked goods!
working with 💚

regenerative farming works with the natural ecosystem of the soil, helping to improve soil structure, drainage and water retention

healthier soils can mean less flooding and cleaner rivers, while supporting a more resilient way of growing the ingredients we use every day

so when you choose loaf, you’re not just choosing something freshly baked, you’re supporting a different way of farming

one loaf, one focaccia and one little choice at a time 🌱

just a quick reminder that Wymondham will be closed tomorrow while Clare has her shoulder operation.

both shops will have limited stock over the next few days, so we recommend arriving early or pre-ordering to avoid disappointment. as always, it’s quality over quantity here at loaf, and we’d rather make a little less and keep everything to the standard we’re proud of.

a huge thank you to our super small team, who are working extra hard this week to keep the baked goods coming out of the ovens. we really appreciate you all 🤍
