BREAD MENU
Loaf of bread

From local beginnings, Bridge Baker is a neighbourhood bakery & food store, with a simple desire to make traditionally prepared bread, cakes and treats with none of the artificial nasties found in supermarket products. Our motto of “think global, eat local” ensures that we produce authentic products from all over the world with everything made from scratch, in-house.

What’s your loaf?

All our bread is super fresh, so can be frozen very successfully.
Most breads can be sliced and frozen in freezer bags.  To use, just toast a slice as needed. Small loaves like focaccia and baguettes can be frozen whole. To eat, defrost in the fridge overnight and then ‘refresh’ in a hot oven (190-200C) for about 10 minutes.

Sourdough made with all the French traditions with 100% natural starter. Our sourdough slowly ferments for over 24 hours and has an open irregular, slightly sour, nutty texture.

Great fresh or toasted. Contains no commercial yeast. Ideal eaten fresh or toasted after. Makes a great base for Italian style bruschetta or grilling on the BBQ in the summer. Freezes very well.

Dark Sourdough

French Baguette

  • Truly delicious
Our baguettes are slow-fermented and made with traditional French flour, which yields a creamy interior and open irregular crumb. The outside is crusty. Perfect for accompanying soup, or any dish requiring mopping up of juices. Leftover baguettes can be sliced to make excellent crostini.

It’s possible to freeze our baguettes whole. Defrost in fridge and put back into a hot oven (220C) to heat through and crisp for about 10 minutes.

“My favourite here is the carrot cake and the brioche. The pizza bread is well done and delicate. A must go if you are in the neighbourhood”

SAGRIKA

“The savoury food and the bakery is excellent and the pastries and cakes too. Everything is freshly made on a daily basis with plenty of vegetarian options.”

Did You Know?

We love to support local (Flour from Essex, Beers from Wimbledon, SW6 Honey from South Park, and our wine supplier lives just down the road). But we do insist on French butter for our pastries. Nothing else produces the right taste and flakiness of pastry.
