Knead & Desire Bakehouse

Hitchin

Exceptional handmade small batch organic sourdough products.

The Bakehouse makes exceptional handmade small batch organic sourdough products. 


With fabulous provenance of ingredients and built on the ethos of integrity, transparency and sustainability. The aim of the Bakehouse is to become a focal point in the community for customers interested in healthy and sustainable food.  In the longer term, we will extend our product range by bringing together other local food producers reflecting that same passion and ethos.

The key words that summarise the aims and philosophy of the Bakehouse:

Handmade – beautiful handcrafted small batch bread and viennoiserie using only traditional sourdough and artisan techniques.


Provenance – only the best ingredients. Away from modern intensively farmed monoculture, using low input heritage wheats suited to the local environment and using no chemical fertilisers and pesticides.  We aim, with time, to source all our flour from local farms and mills. All other products from traceable and ethically verified suppliers.


Sustainable – integrity in our approach. A local food community, low food mileage, locally grown and milled flour using only organic or ecologically sustainable farming methods. Other sold goods selected from local farmers and artisan producers following the same principles. And wherever possible, all within a 25-mile radius of the Bakehouse.
