It's Real Bread Week!

It's Real Bread Week!

Yeah!

It's Real Bread Week again - an opportunity to celebrate the fabulous loaves made using flour, water, yeast and a pinch of salt..

What is Real Bread Week?

Created and run by the Real Bread Campaign since 2010, #RealBreadWeek is the annual, international celebration of Real Bread and the people behind its rise.

We run it to focus and brighten the spotlight on our key work of encouraging and helping people to:

  • Buy Real Bread from local, independent bakeries
  • Bake their own Real Bread

We also rattle the collection tin a bit harder for Sustain, the charity behind Real Bread Campaign.

Each year, bakeries, baking schools, mills, schools, care homes, youth and other community groups around the world bake special loaves and run classes and other activities.

Meanwhile countless people bake at home, some with their children other family members, colleagues or friends, and take to social media with photos of themselves with loaves they've baked or bought.

Here at Hen Corner, to celebrate Real Bread Week, we have a couple of Sourdough courses, both online and in person, we'll be test baking some fabulous new flours from ethical mills and will be baking as usual this Friday.

This week also marks the anniversary of us starting to bake for Hounslow Foodbox, in the last year we've donated 725 loaves and we are continuing to offer our Sponsor a Loaf for those who would like to give. 

If you'd like to try our bread, our whole range can be viewed by collection (e.g. White Bread, Blended Flours, Sourdough, Special Grains, etc.), and can be ordered directly from our online store. 

Don't forget that all our loaves are made with ethically sourced ingredients and everything can be frozen if you don't think you'll eat it all straight away.

Thanks and we hope to see you soon,

Sara
