Let it dough, let it dough, let it dough
Christmas starts here – Untangle the fairy lights! Mull the wine! As we start our official countdown to the most delicious time of the year, here’s our Lovingly guide to the Season of Good Bread.
The gift of great bread
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a bag of chocolate pastries. Nothing says ‘thank you’ like a loaf of great sourdough. Nothing says ‘You’ve got excellent taste’ like a selection of beautiful Lovingly Artisan breads and pastries hand-wrapped in a brown paper parcel.
We’ve put our Staycation Christmas Box together specially for festive gifting – it’s a wonderful pressie to send to yourself as well! It contains two croissants, two chocolate croissants, an ancient-grain Einkorn tin loaf, an award-winning Rugbrod (perfect with smoked salmon and cream cheese) and our sensational Spiced Apple Sourdough (for magic turkey butties). We’ve popped a jar of Hawkshead Relish’s Christmas marmalade in there, too, because it’s heaven on Christmas morning on a sliced of buttered Einkorn toast (and we love dipping our pigs-in-blankets in it!).
Visit our website at lovinglyartisan.com to order from a selection of bread boxes or make up a bespoke one from our full range of breads and pastries. Orders for pre-Christmas deliveries must be placed by 14 December (for the final delivery date of 21 December).
We hand-pack them on the day they’re baked and send them by overnight courier anywhere in the UK – including in-laws’ and holiday cottages.
Festive foraging
Our bread stores at Plumgarths and Altrincham are twinkling with Christmas cheer and festive deliciousness – and we’re not just talking about the delicious new cinnamon swirls that we’re hand-making in the bakery using our Normandy butter croissant dough. We sell a small but perfectly formed range of kitchen ware and kitchen ingredients that make fabulous gifts for food lovers and home bakers: robust and beautiful bread and kitchen knives made in the French Alps; organic extra virgin olive oil from the Pyrenees; Cumbrian cold-pressed rapeseed oil from the Eden Valley; organic heritage-grain flours grown and milled in Northumberland; sweet, gentle-flavoured sea salt, extracted naturally by artisans on Scotland’s west coast; jams and chutneys made in small batches in the heart of the Lake District.
Why not have a little browse when you pop in to place or pick up your Christmas orders (see below)? Or visit our online shop at lovinglyartisan.com to set up a gift subscription, order a bread box or buy some vouchers for your loved one to spend in their favourite bread store?
Happy December! xx
