Milk bread
For sandwiches, or for toast at four in the afternoon.

The starter
One jar of flour and water, fed every day since 2021.
Everything with a crust on it comes off the same starter. It gets fed at four in the afternoon and again at four in the morning, and it is the reason the sourdough tastes the way it does in August and in January. Nothing here is par-baked and nothing arrives frozen.

What regulars say

★★★★★
Rang on a Tuesday about a birthday cake and had it sorted in about ninety seconds. Picked it up Thursday and it was better than the photo.

Get there before ten. I have twice arrived at half eleven to an empty rack and only myself to blame.
