Hello! We're Loaf, a #realbread bakery and cookery school in Stirchley, Birmingham UK. We're a #worker #cooperative with 10 members and keen to get more involved in the wider co-op community.

That said, we're always busy running the bakery so might not be massively active here beyond posting links to our Weekly Loaf newsletter. But we'll do our best to get involved!

#introduction

Today's bake for the two of us. Mrs. GF has the 50/50 white/wholemeal (bit like old fashioned Hovis), mine are the mix of white/wholemeal/Cotswold Crunch (from #matthewscotswoldflours) and a bit of spelt, with pumpkin & sunflower seeds.
I use a really simple #noknead method, just stretch & fold in the bowl.
I slice one of each loaf and freeze in ziplock bags, the other keeps well in the wooden bread bin for a week or so.
