Bakers of Real Bread
You can judge, and you have the choice.
Bread is the most basic item in the traditions of British food, so basic that we don't think about it much. Yet it is a strange and wonderful thing. Made from flour worked into a dough with water and aerated by the action of a yeast to a light open structure. Then baked with just the right amount of steam to give a crisp crust full of flavour.
Is there anything to surpass the smell of freshly baked bread?
Modern technology has reduced the time in which a loaf can be made from hours to minutes, but loaves made like that do lack two important characteristics. They have a poor texture and a non-existent taste. That is a side-effect of the technology that makes them so cheaply. For not very much more, a loaf can be made that is a pleasure to eat with just butter.
The fresh bread you see in Robinsons is exactly that. Baked that morning in Failsworth (OK, we do sell some bread on the second day for toasting, but that's marked at half-price and non the worse for that). If we say it's fresh-baked, that is exactly what we mean. All our bread is baked from scratch.
The word 'fresh' has become debased - watch out for weasel phrases like 'fresh tasting' which sound good but are legally meaningless.
SO REMEMBER
You can judge, and you have the choice.
At Robinsons Bakery, we make a large variety of freshly made (by hand) daily. From the traditional white tin loaf and original wheatgerm Hovis to some newer loaves like corn bread and Italian softies.
If you would like a specific bread item making, just ask and we will see what we can do!
