The award winning artisan bakers, now has a fantastic purpose built bakery near Stretton, so the idyllic site at Exton has been transformed into a spacious and accessible café and shop.
Hambleton Bakery shops are also located in Oakham, Stamford, Market Harborough, West Bridgford & Oundle.
Hambleton Bakery use stoneground flour wherever possible to retain the vitamins and minerals contained in the germ. Many of our loaves use sourdough culture (developed from wild yeast) for a longer and slower fermentation and where we do use Bakers’ yeast, long fermentations are still employed. The sourdough system starts by allowing a flour and water mix to ferment naturally. The beer barm method, popular in England, captures some yeasts from the brewing process to make a ‘starter’. In both systems the yeast is relatively weak and used in small doses in conjunction with long fermentation periods up to 24 hours. Long fermentations, and stoneground flour underpin the flavour and nutritious quality of our breads.
