Wakelyns Seeded Sourdough Tin Loaf

Wakelyns Bakery at Wakelyns Organic Agroforestry produces small batches of wholegrain bread for us every week. This amazing seeded loaf is packed with plant diversity, containing eight different grains and seeds, all grown on British farms.

Baker Henrietta Inman says:

SEEDS, SEEDS! WE LOVE SEEDS! They are, quite literally, life! We can learn so much from them.

The more diverse our seeds, the healthier, happier, and more resilient our soils and whole biosphere are. The more diverse our seeds, the healthier, happier, and more resilient our food and gut microbiome are.

Think of it like our outer and inner landscapes mirroring each other, and acting together in constant, generous reciprocity.

Oh, and diversity in our seeds equates to so much deliciousness too, of course!

Our seeded loaf celebrates beautiful seed diversity, and the farmers who integrate it into their work every day, making use of some of Hodmedod's many vibrant and varied seeds – chia, camelina, linseed, naked oats, rapeseed, wild mustard, hemp and coriander - grown on UK farms. 

When these ingredients come together, nestled comfortably in our soft and flavoursome, wholemeal sourdough bread - made from diverse YQ population and other diverse seeds - there’s sweet-sharp-sour-cream-mustard-earth-green-grassy-wood-spice… We wonder what you will taste when you try it!

We soak the seeds overnight, so they all soften and plump up merrily, and then add them to our dough. This extra moisture adds a lovely softness to these loaves, alongside the seeds’ different textures, and allows them to keep really well, for at least seven days, in the white paper we wrap them in for you, with lots and lots of love.

We really hope that you enjoy it, and thank you, Hodmedod’s the soil, the SEEDS… every living being who allows us to create, bake and eat these loaves each week.
