Tracebridge Sourdough

Welcome

The bakery at nightTracebridge Sourdough is our bakery on the border of Somerset and Devon, five miles from Wellington. Established in 2008, we built a wood fired brick oven behind our cottage in the woods on the edge of a redundant slate quarry. We started making sourdough bread and pizzas for friends but word spread and now we make bread for two Farmer's Markets a week and provide a range of informal apprenticeships and classes for would-be bakers. Few knew what sourdough was a couple of years ago, but thanks to celebrity bakers and thoughtful press coverage many more now seek out our bread for its great taste, lack of additives and its keeping qualities; a loaf made simply from organic flour, salt and water.

Our next Sourdough Classes are Tuesdays April 29th, May 27th, June 24th, August 19th, October 14th, 10.30-5pm (or a little earlier if the baking finishes early). We will also be running a Sweet Dough and Pastry Class on Sunday September 28th. If you are a group of five it is possible to schedule a date that suits you on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Visit us at Wiveliscombe Farmers Market (Saturday) or join a small group to learn about making sourdough at home on one of our classes. We now have a sweet dough and pastry class and classes in lacto fermenting and preserving too.

“I love what you do and how you do it. I moved to near Minehead 14 years ago from London and Zurich (the home of great bakers and patissiers), and I just stopped eating bread completely! I have spent 30 years in the wine business and built up quite a resistance to yeast and increasingly found most bread completely indigestible, but not yours! Keep on keeping on!”
