Celebrating Mothers Day this year?

Don’t want to cook but don’t want to go to a busy restaurant either?

We’ll deliver afternoon tea to you, or if you can’t make it, just send a box to them as a surprise. It’s all made super fresh so will be totally delicious and thoughtfully prepared.

An additive-laden, UPF industrial dough product from Morrisons, as featured in today's Times piece on supermarket sourfaux.

Real Bread is made without chemical raising agents, so-called 'processing aids' or other additives.

Genuine sourdough is Real Bread made from flour and water (from which a live starter culture is nurtured) and salt - though other ingredients (nuts, seeds etc.) can be added.

A product manufactured with any additive and / or baker's yeast ()or other raising agents, but named/marketed using the word sourdough, is sourfaux – a term we first coined in 2015.

You can find out more about sourdough, Real Bread in general, sourfaux, and how to support our charity's work on our website.

Sooo True

Unmatched 🤍

Everytime I make something from scratch, I am so proud of myself. It fuels me to keep going, to try something new, and keep adding to my list of things I don’t need to buy anymore.

👍🥪

Reclaim the noble name of bread!

Let’s have no more talk of chemical bread, cotton wool bread, duck bread, plastic bread, factory bread, shop bread, supermarket bread, and so on.

If it’s an additive-laden, UPF, industrial dough product, then call it that, without any reference to bread.

(Mind you - Real Bread can look like this, while industrial dough product can look 'a bit rustic'. Always read the ingredients list.)
