Sourdough Starter
Mix & Autolyse
Fold & Ferment
The Bread Menu All of our breads are slow fermented and naturally leavened with wild yeast starters; we use artisanal techniques, with each loaf painstakingly mixed, folded and shaped by hand. Wherever possible we source locally, using organic and/or fair trade ingredients - not just because it’s better for the world, but because it’s genuinely better for the bread. Being a micro-bakery means our bread is baked to order, but our processes take time: a minimum of 30 hours, in fact. We ask that you give us at least 2 days notice when placing your order. Our standard delivery days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday; collection or delivery within 2 miles of our bakery is free and costs just £2 elsewhere within Colchester. Deliveries on other days or outside of Colchester are by special arrangement and may be subject to minimum order quantities. Loaves cost £4 with 50p going to OCD-UK, Help for Heroes and the Colchester Emergency Night Shelter. Orders and enquiries: hello@thefeelgoodcook.com
Allergy notice: all breads made in a kitchen that also handles nuts, seeds and other allergens.
