Thank you Julian and Ben!I haven't seen any bread flour in supermarkets at all. I will try Outsider tart tomorrow.Many thanks.

Hi Samia -Indeed, Ben is right. We do have bread flour. And plain. And self-raising. All white at the moment.After several false starts, yeast should be with us tomorrow. Instant/quick/dry is all we could get our hands on so we took it. Better than nothing.We now have a bead on getting in some other flours such as wholemeal bread which folks have been asking about. Will post an update when we have that in hand.

HiYou can find both bread and flour at the Post Room Cafe on South Parade.

As long as you have flour you don't actually need to any packet yeast as there is plenty in the air which enables you to make a 'starter dough'.  We also could not find any yeast either and after following the 'starter dough' process (look up online for the recipe) we have made some great batches of sourdough bread and are maintaining our starter dough which does require some attention on an ongoing basis but works really well.

Hi Davidjust to let you know that I have send you a pm,(which may well have landed in your spam folder)and thanks very much for what you are doing!

Hi David. Great to hear that you should have yeast tomorrow! Should we come along first thing? Or later..? Or ping you an email to reserve a pack? Thanks 👍

No need for yeast, either from a packet or from the air.Just google (Irish) Soda or Wheaten Bread recipes, which can be made using Buttermilk - far easier and far quicker, too.Tastes better as well (though I may be biased!)Meanwhile, I could recommend this little gem, written by a relative:http://www.appletree.ie/cat/books/5347.htm

I think this is an excellent way of spending time during lockdown:https://external-preview.redd.it/kYzsYUZHOT41oOCP0OEmnMBUd0pBjO5-ZfrznPPvO9I.jpg?auto=webp&s=a7848ac4132908829452fcd643cdd7988ea55744

I'm happy (and relieved) to say yeast has landed.Next on the list is gluten-free flour and a wider variety of bread flours. We currently have some wholemeal and some rye flour on hand. I can get pasta flour if that should be of interest to anyone.

David Lesniak ● 2393d

Samia Mirza ● 2388d

Hi SamiaYou can call them on 07957 616616 to check if they have what you need.You too stay safe 🙏

Loraine Pemberton ● 2388d

Hi Samia-We have loads of yeast, bread, plain and self-raising flour. And eggs. Also have baking powder as I heard that, too, was an issue.Waiting on some gluten-free, spelt, wholemeal, rye and malt flour.And people still appreciative of the tinned tomatoes but thought that was history. Apparently not.
