Sourdough Pretzel (with cheese)
Twisted tradition with a sourdough twist. Carefully dipped in lye for a mahogany-hued, chewy crust and finished with flaky sea salt. This cheesy version is generously studded with aged Gruyère—melty, savoury, and utterly indulgent.All our breads begin with our house sourdough starter, nurtured daily by our bakers. A slow 24-hour fermentation unlocks complex flavours and enhances digestibility, making every slice as nourishing as it is delicious.£3.30N8 Sourdough Tin (900g)
The beloved sibling of our classic sourdough, baked in a tin for a taller slice, perfect for sandwiches. Lovingly refined using a blend of Bruern strong white (50%), Wild Farmed white (40%) and Bruern wholemeal (10%) — the high extraction Bruern flour brings depth and complexity, while the Wild Farmed lightens the crumb to a softer, creamier colour. A crackling crust, custard-like crumb, and a gentle whisper of tang. Slowly fermented for 24 hours for flavour and digestibility.£6.00VeganN8 Seeded Sourdough (900g)
A much-loved loaf, back and better than ever. Built on the same Bruern flour blend as our N8 — with its nutty wholemeal sweetness and depth of flavour from the high extraction white — this updated version features our in-house seed blend (pumpkin, sunflower & linseed) pressed into the crust, delivering a deeper toasted flavour and a satisfying textural crunch with every slice.
