About Baker in a Beanie
I have been baking my own bread ever since moving to Somerset nearly 20 years ago. First in a bread machine and, when that blew up, by hand. I quickly found a real passion for the art of baking, having a go at everything from a traditional farmhouse loaf to Irish soda bread. Then, in May 2023, when my livelihood disappeared overnight with the emergence of AI in the writing world, I turned to my hobby and set up Baker in a Beanie.
The Breads
Using only the finest ancient grains, and with nothing but organic ingredients, the breads on offer are: the Rustic, a wonderful country loaf made with light spelt and einkorn; the Farmhouse, a delicious traditional tinned loaf made with light spelt and khorasan; the Provençal Rye, a mouthwatering and moist rye and spelt loaf with no added sugars; and Baguettes, wonderful French-style long loaves, but with a soft-crust, made with 100% light spelt.
Rustic rolls are also available to order.
