Sourdough
Our fine family of sourdoughs are born out of our 15 year-old 100% naturally cultivated starter, feed and nurtured daily. European Bakery sourdoughs have a distinct flavour and texture and we make a broad range of sourdough products from the crusty Italian sourdough to the hugely popular Multigrain, full of seeds and grains, dense in texture but not heavy to eat. All of our sourdoughs are long fermented and helps break down the flour and releases its full nutrition. This process aids the nutrient dense characteristics of our German rye and dark rye sourdough yet remains soft in texture but rich in flavour. Our outstanding walnut and fruit sourdoughs work equally well with sweet or savoury pairings.
Classic Italian Ciabatta
classic Italian ciabatta
Our classic italian ciabatta and the seeded goodness of wholemeal ciabatta are products that deserve their highly regarded place in market. The long ferment times and double proofs make for a lovely moist bread with nice blisters and bubbles, so typical for the genuine Ciabatta. Light rustic baked to enchance the flavour of this beautiful ciabatta.

traditional loaves
Nothing says bread like the smell of a traditional loaf of crusty white bread being pulled from the oven. That memory of Sunday bread wrapped in wax paper longing to be broken into before it made its way home from the corner dairy. This is what our traditional white & wholemeal loaves speak of, each lovingly handcut and crafted and baked in traditional tins best used as sandwich bread, for toasties or a long sliced loaf turned into the classic Southland cheese roll.

Bagels
Bagels
Our bagels are the best, soft but slightly chewy and full of flavour. Although most famously known as the New York Bagel its origins are European – “Polish bakers, in an effort to honour their victorious horse-riding king, made a stirrup-shaped roll and boiled it before baking”, Jewish immigrants bought the bagel to New York and the rest is history. Our handcrafted bagels are popular, our jalapeno & cheese variety are widely sort after and are set to make a history of their own.
