Companions

We have stopped amending/updating this archive page, so some information might be out of date and links might no longer work.

For suppliers of Real Bread kit and places to buy flour from independent mills please see the Real Bread Map.

Originally meaning one with whom you share bread, we reckon that companion is the ideal name for those with whom we share similar aims and values.

THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISING SITE, SIMPLY A NON-EXHAUSTIVE DIRECTORY OF RELEVANT ORGANISATIONS/ITEMS OF WHICH WE'RE AWARE.  WE'RE NOT IN CONTACT WITH ALL OF THEM, INCLUSION HERE DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLY RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT BY THE REAL BREAD CAMPAIGN AND THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE.

The Real Bread Campaign/Sustain has no control over the content of any external site. You venture beyond our pages at your own risk but that said - enjoy exploring.

Independent mills

• Please always check the ingredients list of a bag of flour - even some organic flours have added enzymes and ascorbic acid. 
• Please also be aware of the issue of undeclared added enzymes
• If you have any questions about a flour, or a mill's practices in general, please check with the miller in question.
• For information on what has to be added to UK milled wheat flour by law click here.

For a current directory of places to buy flour from independent mills please see the Real Bread Map.

Starters and other yeast

Where to find sourdough starters and other fresh yeast

**Note that this was last updated in 2012 and so some details might no longer be correct**

Here are just some places to find sourdough starters and other types of fresh yeast.*  Several of the books and websites further down this page also give instructions to start your own sourdough starter but  if you don't fancy that, some supporters of the Real Bread community might be willing to help. 

* In addition to lactic acid bacteria, sourdough cultures also contain one or more types of yeast.

• Real Bread bakeries - If you ask nicely when you're buying a loaf, a local Real Bread bakery might let you buy some fresh yeast or perhaps even some of their precious starter.
• Courses - If you go on a course that covers sourdoughs, they might well send you home with some starter.  
• Polish shops - We've been told that many shops selling Polish food sell fresh yeast, though can't vouch for this.
• Supermarkets - We've received many emails from people who suggest asking a local supermarket with an in-store bakery (one where they bake from scratch, not just a loaf tanning salon) for some. Success seems to vary from store to store even within a chain, with different branches quoting different prices and versions of 'company policy' and interpretations of the law.**
• National Collection of Yeast Cultures - The experts on all things yeasty. One only for those of you who are very serious after getting hold of a particular strain of yeast and prepared to bulk up from a small sample (which costs consideraby more than a packet from the supermarket) to a useable quantity.  

**It is perfectly legal to sell fresh yeast and sourdough starter in the UK. In September 2012, Defra's Customer Contact Unit advised us: 'As far as we are aware there are no restrictions on selling such foods [yeast and sourdough culture] provided the Food Business Operator complies with the General Food Law Regulation 178/2002 and any labelling regulations that may apply. The Food Labelling Regulations 1996 would apply to flour, water yeast and milk.'

Professional bakers get their yeast from wholesale ingredients companies, none of which we will name here as they make most of their money peddling the processing aids and other artificial additives we campaign against.

Dried yeast for Real Bread

Last updated April 2019

Loaves made using yeast with one or more additives are not what we call Real Bread.

The only brands of dried yeast that we know of in the UK that are free from artificial additives are:

• BioReal
• Saf-Levure Active Dry
• DCL Active dried

Allinson used to produce a yellow tin of additive-free dried active yeast but discontinued this product. Their easy bake yeast (green tin) has two additives. Similarly, Doves Farm discontinued their blue tins of additive-free active dried yeast and their orange bags of quick yeast contain an additive.

We urge manufacturers to go additive-free so that Real Bread bakers can use their products.. If you choose to contact them directly, please let us know how you get on.

If you produce or sell pure (ie additive free) dried or fast acting yeast, please email details to us! realbread@sustainweb.org

Bookshelf

Last updated 2012

Being such a staple, bread is the subject of many books. Here are just a few that look at the subject in quite some breadth and/or depth. Several are available in later editions and/or paperback. Some may be out of print but can be found through second-hand/antiquarian bookshops.

The authors of books marked * are Real Bread Campaign ambassadors or supportrs.

NB The categories are not exclusive: i.e. some books in the domestic list might be of use and interest to the professional and vice versa, and there is theoretical content in some of the more practical books.
