Where to find Real Bread: July 2026

The main two ways* of being able to enjoy delicious, nutritious Real Bread are to buy it or BIY (bake it yourself).

*if you're lucky, your other options might include a public sector meal (e.g. school, nursery, hospital or care home) or someone else making it for you.

BIY

Whether by hand or dragging out an under-used machine, making your own Real Bread is simple, doesn’t take much of your time and (because you don’t have a small bakery’s staff costs, overheads etc.) is very affordable.

We have tips and around 100 free recipes on our website, which is also where you can buy our Real Bread books.

Buy it

Our Real Bread Map enables you to search for places to buy Real Bread (by our definition) from bakeries that have added their details.

We invite every bakery in the world that makes at least one type of Real Bread to create a free listing. If your local bakery is missing, please pass on our invitation to them!

(For answers to FAQ about the map, click on the button on the Real Bread Map page. If you have questions for / about a particular bakery, please contact them.)

Look for The Loaf Mark!

While you’re out and about, keep your eyes peeled for The Real Bread Loaf Mark and The Sourdough Loaf Mark. There are now more than 200 bakeries licensed to use The Loaf Mark: see below.

For information about the scheme, please see these notes and for further details (including how to become a licensee) visit The Real Bread Loaf Mark page.

What about supermarkets?
If you're wondering why we focus on championing home baking, and small, indie Real Bread bakeries (rather than giving free publicity to companies that have multi-million-pound marketing budgets) please see this article.

To date, no supermarket has ever chosen to join the Campaign or become a Loaf Mark licensee.

Loaf Mark licensees

Correct at 30 June 2026, since when bakeries might have joined the scheme, renewed their license or let it lapse.

Being a Loaf Mark licensee is separate from being a Real Bread Campaign supporter.

Real Bread Campaign

Chris Young has coordinated the Real Bread Campaign since March 2009. In addition to lobbying for an Honest Crust Act of better loaf composition, labelling and marketing laws in the UK; he created and runs initiatives including: Sourdough September; Real Bread Week; Real Bread For All; Together We Rise, promoting therapeutic/social benefits of bread making; No Loaf Lost surplus reduction guidance; and Lessons in Loaf for schools. He’s the author of the Knead to Know…more microbakery handbook, Slow Dough: Real Bread recipe book and Bake Your Lawn grow-a-loaf guidebook; and edits True Loaf magazine.

From 2014-18, Chris also coordinated Sustain's London Food Link network, which included editing The Jellied Eel magazine and helping to launch and run the Urban Food Awards with the Mayor of London’s office. Chris has pulled on his judge’s wig for BOOM Awards, The Cateys, The Great Taste Awards, The Scottish Bread Championship and The World Bread Awards. In 2017, The School of Artisan Food honoured Chris with its first Fellowship, and in 2025 he was named joint Person of The Year by Slow Food in The UK.
