At thomsonsbakery we believe our products to be of the highest quality and all are made using traditional processes and techniques. This makes us one of the few true artisan bakers in the north east of England. We are also members of the National Association of Master Bakers and the Northumbria Larder.

In line with Food Standard Agency recommendations for 2012 we already produce all our breads with less than 1% salt content.

Our breads are developed to be enjoyed with or without other food and do not need to be covered with butter or jam. When correctly stored, they have a shelf life of at least 4 days. We hope you enjoy eating them as much as we enjoy making them.

Newcastle Broon Ale Bread

Our sublime Newcastle Broon Ale Bread is made from a premium fine brown flour with malted wheat grains.

Our special ingredient is the world famous Newcastle Brown Ale, which is brewed locally at the Federation Brewery, on the banks of the Tyne. This tasty bread has a uniquely nutty and malty flavour that complements any meal.

Nettle Bread

No - it doesn't sting, and only some-one who has tasted nettles would know how near to the taste of nettles this bread really is.

With the added tang of celery, garlic and parsley this makes a totally unique bread

for sandwiches or an accompaniment to salads.

Genuine Geordie Stottie

There are many recipes and variations of the Stottie, ours has been developed as a sandwich bread that will accompany the widest variety of fillings, from ham and pease pudding to crunchy nut salads.

It has even been said that Hadrian when building the wall would (allegedly) dry out the local Stotties and use them as chariot wheels which could be removed and used as shields!

 

Ciabatta

Our ciabatta is made with strong white flour and brushed with extra virgin olive oil.

Ideal for panini type sandwiches.

We also make ciabatta flavoured with tomato or rosemary and garlic.

 

Brioche "Queen of Breads"

A very much forgotten bread in the UK, but very popular in Europe, brioche is made with a soft white dough enriched with sugar, butter and egg. Close textured and good on its own, try it toasted with scrambled egg and smoked salmon for a special breafast or light lunch.

 

Italian Stonecut

Adapted from an old Italian farmhouse recipe this bread is made using a rather unique process where we totally miss out the process of final proof, and cut deeply into the dough to make an uneven crust

The result is a close textured cob with a subtle taste of olive oil, and a smooth eating quality, and is a great mopper-up of gravy, soup or pasta sauce.

 

   

 

 

 

Sunflower & Lemon
 
Sunflower seeds, lemons, lemon peel and a mixture of mild herbs make this a bread full of vitamin C.

It is very good with any fish dish and toasted provides an excellent accompaniment to breakfast, salads or light lunches.

 

Dark Rye and Caraway Bloomer

For those who prefer a stronger flavoured bread that is still light to eat try dark rye and caraway. 

It makes exceedingly good hot beef sandwiches, or with a strong crumbly cheese and pickle becomes very piquant. Also very good on its own with a cup of your preferred coffee.

Crown of Breads

Bringing some of our most popular flavoured breads together with one or two plainer ones the Crown of Bread gives you the opportunity to taste 7 different varieties, but in individual portions.

A great tear and share product, just make sure your favourite is near to you so no-one else gets it!

Mini Loaves

A rustic country bread recipe delicately flavoured with caraway seeds these mini loaves are very tasty.

They are great fun and children love them especially when they can say they have eaten a whole loaf each!

 

NEW BREADS

include Avena oaty bread and a multigrain finger, pumpkin bread and tomato buns, a dark rye split and a light rye baton

Traditional breads & morning goods 

Apart from our speciality bread range we also make traditional "every day" breads and morning goods.
Our loaves include large and small white and wholemeal and a small wheatmeal brown loaf.
We make large and small flatties (or stotties) as well and white and brown bread buns. Crusty sticks come in various sizes and there are also crusty bloomers. Teacakes and iced tea buns are in the shop daily.
