Love in a box – Breakfast in Bed
Mothers. We’re not demanding creatures. But we do love a breakfast tray in bed on Mothering Sunday. And while it is – of course – the thought that counts, well, wouldn’t it be lovely if that thought included a couple of gently warmed saffron buns from our favourite artisan bakery, piled with butter and jam?
You can see where we’re going with this…So let us point you in the direction of our Lovingly Artisan website, where you can order a Breakfast in Bed box and have it sent anywhere in the country. It contains two saffron buns, a Pain de Campagne white sourdough and a jar of Hawkshead Relish’s heavenly Raspberry and Vanilla jam.
Order well in advance to pick a delivery day (Wednesday-Saturday); our breads are mixed, slow-fermented, hand-shaped and baked to order, so we need a few days’ notice. They’re dispatched within hours of leaving the oven, lovingly wrapped by our Bread Store team and carefully packed with a handwritten message – you can give us your special words when you order.
And if your mum prefers a savoury breakfast, or wants to have her lunch in bed, too – and doesn’t she deserve it? – check out our other bread boxes and bread subscriptions at lovinglyartisan.com.
Oh holey one
You asked. You pleaded. Some of you downright begged. And we listened, of course we did (because flattery will get you everywhere). So we’re delighted to share the happy news that FOUGASSE IS BACK!!! Our beloved ‘tear-and-share’, sometimes described as a giant fluffy pretzel or ‘that bread with all the holes in’, has made its long-awaited return to our Bread Stores, bejewelled with Kalamata olives.
The sultry, salty olive makes a brilliant addition to this sophisticated bread, which gets its name from a traditional Provencal sourdough baked on a hot stone. Moulded and slashed to create a shape that resembles an ear of wheat, it has a crusty outside and soft, chewy inside that’s just begging to be soaked in our favourite Querubi Provencal extra-virgin olive oil. Welcome back, old friend.
We want to olive forever
How lucky are we to have Lake District olive experts Silver & Green right here on the doorstep of Lovingly HQ? Their rich and juicy Kalamata olives are the star ingredient of our Kalamata Olive Sourdough loaf, which is back on our counters in all its black-speckled, umami-rich gorgeousness.
This handmade, slow-fermented sourdough boule delivers an extra hit of savouriness that makes it the perfect partner for tomato-based pasta sauces. We also love to slice it thinly and give it a good grilling with some extra-virgin olive oil to make crackers that go brilliantly with smoked fish pâtés or creamy blue cheeses.
