FAQS
WHY SOURDOUGH?
Simple answer is - less is more! There's no additive or preservative involved. No commercial yeast, no shortcuts. You know what's in your bread - flour, water and salt. The long, slow fermentation makes a loaf of sourdough bread more nutritious than yeasted bread, as the body can access and absorb more of the fibre, vitamins and minerals contained in the loaf. So that the sourdough bread is easier digested, and it increases resistant starch, which can control blood sugar!
WHY ARE YOUR PRODUCTS OUT OF STOCK
Due to the scale I'm operating on, I'm currently pretty full in capacity, but if you can pick up your retail orders on Fridays from Mount Evelyn, please feel free to drop me a message to order.
Not taking on new wholesale customers at the moment.
SOURDOUGH CLASSES
I'm currently offering sourdough classes at Chirnside Park Community Hub, for details and bookings, please head to https://www.munchenbakery.com.au/product-page/sourdough-class
CAN I BUY YOUR PRODUCTS FROM A SHOP OR MARKETS?
Absolutely!
Every Saturday morning, a batch of freshly baked sourdough loaves are delivered to Mount Evelyn IGA (38-40 York Rd, Mount Evelyn VIC 3796) usually around 11:30am.
Deliveries for Carter Bros Fruit & Veg Silvan with fresh country/seeded/fruit loaves will be every Friday and Saturday mornings around 9:45am.
HOW DO I KEEP MY BREAD FRESH?
For Sourdough loaves and Sourdough sandwich loaves, they're best consumed when fresh but you can keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days in a container or zip bag. They toast up beautifully. Alternatively, if you don't intend to consume them straight away, you can slice and freeze the loaves and heat them up in the oven or toaster easily.
ARE THE PRODUCTS PACKAGED?
Yes all the breads will be packaged with an eco-friendly brown paper bag (no plastic packaging) and sweets will be either in a paper bag or paper box. All of the packaging is composable and recyclable.
GLUTEN FREE?
Unfortunately, as restricted by the baking space I have, suggested by the Health Officer, it would be impossible for me to offer any gluten free options at the moment due to potential cross contamination.
