Homebaking
Homebaking refers to the craft of making baked goods like breads, cakes, and pastries from scratch in one’s own kitchen. It’s a delightful way to create fresh treats tailored to personal tastes or dietary needs. The best thing to bake at home is often considered to be bread, as nothing compares to the aroma and taste of freshly baked bread right from your own oven. The oldest ovens discovered by archaeologists date back over 6,500 years, and they were used primarily for baking bread, highlighting the long-standing tradition of homebaking in human history.
About Homebaking
Home baking is something enjoyed by many of our customers and millions of people across the UK. Whilst the need to bake bread has diminished in recent years due to the rise of supermarkets and the preservatives found in commercial bread, there are still huge numbers of people who choose to go through the fun process of making bread from scratch. One reason for this is that the smell of fresh, home-baked bread wafting through the house in the morning is unbeatable—it draws everyone to the kitchen, ready to reach for the bread knife. The organic flour we sell from Shipton Mill is fantastic for this purpose.
We also stock a great range of flour for those who require a more specific diet. Our gluten-free options, sourced from Freee, work incredibly well. Long gone are the days when someone who couldn’t have gluten had to suffer with limited choices. As with many products in the shop, we offer a huge range of items suitable for people following a specific diet.
