New bakery - Sunflower Bakery, Dore

[catanfan 10]

A new bakery, the Sunflower Bakery, opened in Dore just before Christmas. I can't find a website at the moment but having tried many of the breads and cakes on offer there I thought other Forum members might want to know about their existence. The premises used to be the Dore Delicatessen, and the new shop, whilst focusing on freshly-baked bread, also stocks some cheeses, pickles, jams etc.

 

It's my daughter's new favourite shop, because she's 2 and she gets to try something whenever we go in! The baker is Russian and the loaves we've tried to date have all been delicious, especially the corn bread and a 14th century Russian bread they make - I forget its name. They have a board up declaring what time the next batches of bread are due out of the oven, so you can buy it very fresh if you're local. It's about £2.80 per loaf.

 

Nice to see a proper artisan baker in the village at last. I hope it does well alongside the other new baking initiatives in Sheffield, such as The Forge Bakehouse, Seven Hills, Saxton's and the Cat Lane Bakery.

I've tried the bread too. It's delicious particularly some of the eastern european rye breads. Tanya who is from the Ukraine spent years training to bake in her homeland and if you have a taste of her specialist breads you will get a true sense of her expertise.

Really? Wow... I love fresh bread. I hope things will change and we become like the French. A proper bakery with all the baked goods gorging out of the shop.
