Solaris Bakehouse
bake on demand
Solaris Bakehouse does not have a traditional shop front. Please pre-order online and I will deliver your bread and pastries fresh to your front door each baking day afternoon by 5pm.
We bake small batches on-demand, in the interests of sustainability. Naturally-fermented sourdough takes 2 to 3 days to develop it’s signature flavour, which is why there is a gap between ordering and receiving. Baking using traditional techniques requires patience, but the rewards are certainly worth the wait. Place your order, then relax, and wait for the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries at your door on the baking day afternoon…
A Taste of Tradition
The bakery produces handmade loaves and pastries of all shapes and sizes using locally-sourced organic and regenerative* flours that retain their natural flavour, fibre, and nutrients without preservatives or artificial additives. The only other ingredients in our bread are sea/rock salt, water, and yeast. These can be wild yeasts, as in our sourdough starter, or organic baker’s yeast.
Also on the menu are enriched breads which may contain organic free range eggs, honey, seeds, and ambient dried fruits. All the breads from Solaris Bakehouse undergo the same slow fermentation process to develop flavour, texture, and the perfect crust.
Bread baking workshops
We also run bread-baking workshops at Solaris Bakehouse, where you can learn how easy it is to make real bread at home. Let’s start you on your own bread-making journey. Endless experimentation and discovery await! We believe that bread should be authentic with complex flavour and texture, two tenets of bread-baking which are sadly lost in large-scale commercial baking. You just can’t get the real thing from the supermarkets! Book your place on the Workshops page.
