Since 1987, Firebrand Sourdough Bakery, in Ripponlea has been making real bread with real flavour and texture using age-old bread making methods.
All of their breads are hand-shaped and baked in an original 1930's wood-fired oven, either in tins or directly on the brick floor of the oven, and all are made from organic or unbleached flour, natural whole-wheat leaven (sourdough starter), water and sea-salt. Delicious!
