The
bread is handmade specifically for the Honest Sausage by an independent organic
baker who moved to London in 1993, after 9 years in Wales. All his products meet the Soil Association
criteria, and where possible the Demeter standard. Ingredients are sourced from the most environmentally
conscientious suppliers they can find.
What makes Celtic bread so different from the industry norm is they:
- Minimise yeast content
- Have longer fermentation
- Are baked longer, giving a fully baked
product
- Are bottom baked in the oven, directly on
the stones
All
bread is made using mainly English wheat to reduce food miles and support UK
farmers and millers.
