In the world of baking, not all flour is created equal. At The Baker and the Cakemaker, we're on a mission to revolutionize the way people think about bread – one organic, pesticide-free grain at a time. From our sourcing and fermentation to our baking processes, we offer approximately ten varieties of premium breads, all organic, hand-crafted and scratch-made.
Here's why making the switch to our premium, health-conscious breads is essential for your well-being and the planet:
Organic, Pesticide-Free Goodness
Our wheat and flour used in all of our breads are meticulously sourced from farmers committed to sustainable, organic practices. Unlike conventional flour, our grains are never sprayed with harmful chemicals or pesticides like glyphosate (Roundup), which most commercial breads on the market contain.
Why to stay away from glyphosate: glyphosates such as Roundup have been closely linked to cancer, disruption of hormonal balance and the endocrine system and may have significant negative impacts on gut health as well as toxic effects on kidneys and liver. Choosing organic foods and supporting practices that minimize pesticide use are steps individuals can take to reduce their exposure to glyphosate and other potentially harmful chemicals in their diet.
By prioritizing organic sources and methods, we ensure that every batch of our famous bread is free from toxins and environmentally friendly for everyone.
Retaining Natural Nutrients
Our minimally processed flour retains much of its natural nutrient profile, eliminating the need for enrichment. While other flours strip away essential vitamins and minerals during processing, our bread remains packed with wholesome goodness. From fiber to protein, our flour provides the nourishment every body craves without any artificial additives.
Higher Protein Content
We pride ourselves on using a higher-protein content blend in our flour, resulting in bread that's not only delicious but also hearty and authentic. Our proprietary blend of flour creates a "stronger, rustic authentic bread" reminiscent of the artisan loaves of yesteryears.
Premium Flour & Grains
Quality starts at the source, which is why we work directly with suppliers who sustainably grow grains with exceptional flavor, nutrient content, and baking performance. From laser sorting to slow and cool milling processes, every step is taken to ensure the highest quality flour possible. Our flour undergo a rigorous process to ensure quality and wholesomeness with every loaf.
Transparency From Farm to Fork
We believe in transparency every step of the way – from the farm to your table. With modern technology, we can trace every product back to the farm where it was grown, providing detailed specifications for every lot of grain that passes to our baker. Our commitment to transparency ensures food quality and empowers our customers to make informed choices about what they eat.
