Our Products
Breads
We take pride in the fact that our breads are made using traditional methods, which ultimately means that they are given the time to develop flavour through various pre-fermentations, which are then added to the final dough some 12 to 16 hours later. Our Breads are also baked in a wood-fired brick bread oven, which produces a loaf with excellent crust and crumb. Here are some of our breads.
Our very popular crusty Five Grain loaf. A yeasted bread with sunflower and sesame seeds, rye chops, wheat and oats.8.00 USD
For the purist, who wants all the health benefits of eating whole wheat bread. Our Whole Wheat bread also contains whole grains: rye chops, cracked wheat and rolled oats. 8.00 USD
We crack our own spelt for this sourdough, which gives the bread a close, firm, crumb structure, increased flavour and texture, and when toasted, a wonderful rich nutty aroma. 7.00 USD
This sourdough crown is a real party centre piece. Guests can pull off a section of bread to have their very own sourdough mini loaf complete with its raised crunchy ear and soft interior crumb. 12.00 USD
This is our regular Sourdough. Its long, slow, fermentation coupled with the addition of rye and wholewheat flour give great depth of flavour to this crusty loaf, 7.00 USD
There are many breads labelled 'Pumpernickel'. Unfortunately, they all too often do not have the texture, depth of flavour or character of a proper Pumpernickel. Our Pumpernickel has a dense, close, slightly chewy crumb and is baked very slowly overnight. This long slow bake adds to its taste and flavour. It is sliced thinly by hand, 10 slices to a pack. In Denmark, Pumpernickel is traditionally served as an open sandwich and topped with smoked fish, shellfish, cold cuts or cheese; a Smørrebrød essential!6.00 USD
The classic French Baguette. Our Baguettes include a poolish pre-ferment and are made using the improved mixing method. The poolish adds flavour and the mixing method reduces the amount of oxygen into the dough, which in turn, preserves overall flavour.5.00 USD

We have a wide variety of pastries and cookies, from simple buttery shortbreads to extravagant Napoleon (Mille Feuille). Some of our items are restricted to seasonal appearances.
Pain au Raisin, Pain au Chocolat, Almond Squares, to name a few of our Danish pastries.5.00 USD

As its name implies, this sweet raisin bread is made with lard. We source our pork back-fat from North Wind Farms and render it to produce homemade lard. This is then mixed with butter and laminated through the dough with sugar, lemon and orange zest, currants and raisins. The dough is then baked in a sugared pan which produces a caramelized top. 7.00 USD
The word decadent is usually reserved for rich cakes containing chocolate. However, this cake has no chocolate, but it does have a very rich soft crumb and sticky top with intense ginger flavour. Also contains inclusions of soft sweet golden raisins and crystalized ginger. 12.00 USD
