Flour & Soul started as a distraction in the 2020 lockdown. I should have probably enjoyed my maternity leave more, but being drunk on the smell of freshly fermented dough, I knew I wanted to do this every day.
Almost six years later, we have a wonderful business with deep community roots. We make slow fermented sourdough bread from locally grown (in Cheshire) stoneground flour, flaky croissants and pain au chocolat with Cumbrian butter and Grate Taste Award winner panettone.
I’ve learned everything on the job—from accounts and hygiene ratings to the logistics of delivering bread on a cargo bike.
Our classes are a chance to see where the magic happens in our workshop, enjoy some freshly baked pastries and learn a new skill in a fun environment.
