Published: Tuesday 21 November 2023

There are some big events coming up before the end of 2023 and we don’t just mean Doctor Who’s 60^th anniversary.

Here are three things from the Real Bread Campaign goodie bag that you could give to a fellow breadhead, or that you might want to ask someone to get for you:

Slow Dough: Real Bread recipe book
Knead to Know…more business handbook
Gift subscription to True Loaf magazine (plus all the other Campaign supporter benefits)

Stuff from other nice folk in our fold, who give us a bit of dough from each sale, includes:

UFO dough scorer / lame from Wire Monkey
I Love Real Bread apron, tee and mug from Balcony Shirts

Also check out the websites of Real Bread bakeries, baking schools and indie mills who’ve added their details to the Real Bread Map. Many will be offering vouchers, baking kit bundles and (of course) tasty treats – already our Insta feed is filling up with panettone and the like.

Please note: Royal Mail's last recommended Christmas posting date is 18 December 2023. Our last mailout before this will be on 14 December. Our last mailout of 2023 will be during w/c 18 December.
