Below is the latest news update:
the loaf in list of Britain's top 10 small bakeries
We were delighted to be listed in Dan Lepard's top 10 small bakeries in Britain in the Times newspaper. Listed as one of four local food producers in Derbyshire among 300 national producers, we were then picked out in a list of local small bakeries. Here is a map of the uk showing all of the producers taking part and their offers.
"the loaf is an active part of the community, using local beers in breads, selling flour for home bakers and having a pizza evening every Wednesday."
Dan is a world renowned baker who writes a weekly column for the Guardian and whose website and forum have been a source of great information and inspiration to me over the past few years. Every week we use his recipe for 'barm bread' using beer from the Fisherman's Rest pub. Thanks to Dan for including us in his list.
Bread in Bakewell
We are very pleased to be supplying Appleby & Nuttall Fine Foods, Bakewell with fresh bread from the loaf. Initially, we will be supplying them with breads every Saturday but hope this will soon expand to be more often through the week. Paul Rouse and his wife have recently taken over the delicatessen and are planning some exciting developments over the summer and autumn. Find them in Bakewell just off Buxton Road on Rutland Bu.
