🍞 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: Flour & Soul Bakery, Urmston 🍞

Meet the award-winning family-run neighbourhood bakery that’s putting Urmston on the map! 🏆
What makes Flour & Soul special? It’s all about keeping things simple and honest:
✨ Just four ingredients: Flour. Water. Salt. A lot of soul (and occasionally some seeds!)
✨ NO additives, preservatives, or ingredients you can’t pronounce
✨ Stone ground flours sourced as close to home as possible
✨ 3-day bread making process with 24-hour slow fermentation
But here’s what really sets them apart - they deliver by BIKE! 🚴‍♀️ That means zero food miles and one less car on the road, making our community cleaner and safer.
Their sourdough has that perfect chewy texture, open crumb, and distinctive taste that only comes from traditional, slow fermentation methods. Plus, stone ground flour is easier to digest and packed with more nutrients than conventionally milled flour.
This isn’t just bread - it’s honest, real bread made with pride by bakers who truly care about their craft and their community. They’re not just feeding Urmston, they’re helping make it a better place to live.
