Scrolls

The main player in our sweets ensemble, these scrolls are 100% naturally leavened. The long ferment and the use of olive oil and sugar in the dough give the scrolls the rise and moisture they need for a light, soft crumb. We then layer in the flavour of the week, bake until golden, brush them with a spiced glaze and top with icing and garnish.   

Our scroll flavours change throughout the year, sometimes taking advantage of any seasonal produce we have on hand and sometimes just to keep it fresh. However, RHUBARB & LEMON MYRTLE have proven to be our customers’ favourite and we like to think it’s our signature scroll. Fortunately, rhubarb is grown pretty widely in our little town and our generous community often donate their extras for which we are very, very thankful. Our hyper local, lemon myrtle supplier (Nick’s mum) grows her tree just 1km away from us (as the crow flies)!

Made with wholewheat flour, sifted wheat flour, water, salt, sugar, oil, and our sourdough culture.

Crackers

These super tasty, crunchy and versatile crackers are made with extra virgin olive oil from Grampians Olive Co., sprinkled with Pink Lake salt harvested from Western Victoria and a small portion of our sourdough culture.  The plain and simple dough means the natural flavours of the salt and oil really come through. We refresh our sourdough culture often even when we’re not getting ready to bake and it’s this excess that we use in our cracker dough. Waste not, want not.

Our cracker bags are available when we’re at market and through our retail partners including the Grampians Store in Pomonal, the Wimmera Meat Market in Horsham and Best’s Wines in Great Western.

*** Note on packaging: we use non plastic bags which can be home composted under the right conditions. To quote the Packaging People “Our food-grade Earth Bags are home compostable … The bags are made of brown recycled paper and have a plant starch based, 100% natural biofilm that is a renewable resource (PLA)…. Earth bags are a good short term storage packaging solution as they are not a completely airtight product. We recommend storing the bags away from direct sunlight, and in cooler, dryer places to keep products fresh, as the bags will break down more rapidly in the presence of heat, light and moisture.”

Made with wholewheat flour, bakers flour, olive oil, water, salt and our sourdough culture.

Pizza Bases

Our par baked pizza bases are thin but soft. Ready to be topped and re heated in the oven. A quick, easy dinner. We sell these at markets and at the Grampians Store in Pomonal. Our retail partners can also take pre orders.

***This dough is par baked, meaning it is baked just until all the chemical reactions are complete. They should be stored in the fridge or freezer as soon as you get home.

***The NatureFlex bags we use to package them are made from cellulose film derived from woodpulp. They have “AS 5810 certification, it guarantees that the packaging is entirely home compostable, meaning it safely breaks down in your backyard compost without leaving any toxic residue.” See Futamura ‘s website for more detail on their manufacturing. As these are designed to break down in moist environments, like your compost heap, they have a shorter shelf life than other plastics so please bear in mind the packaging won’t last forever because it’s not intended to.

Wren Pickles

Initially we made these as a way of helping out the local farmers who had a fruitful cucumber season and quite a few to spare. Jarred with finely sliced onion, mustard seeds, ground turmeric and lemon myrtle leaves grown in Pomonal, all preserved in a pickle liquid made from apple cider vinegar. We love these for adding a bit of sweet-tang to our sandwiches or wraps, salads and lazy-lunch nibble-platters.

When cucumbers aren’t in abundance we turn to the humble zuchinni to keep our pickle collection topped up. Sometimes we might use both for one batch so if you have an aversion to one or the others be sure to check the label for ingredients.

We sell pickles at market, through the Grampians Store in Pomonal and some of our other retailers.
