Our Story: Real ingredients. Real comfort. Real craft.

Dinwiddie Hearth is a tiny micro‑bakehouse rooted in simple, honest food. Everything here is made in small batches, by hand, with real ingredients and a focus on comfort and flavour.

No additives. No shortcuts. Just thoughtful, homemade baking — the way it feels right to make it.

Small batches, shaped by hand

Whether it’s a tray of chocolate bark, a batch of maple sponge cakes, or a handful of Snickerdoodle Bites, everything is mixed, shaped, and finished in my FSA 5‑star kitchen. I work in small quantities so every treat gets attention, and every batch tastes like something made at home, not in a factory.

All bakes are now available by pre‑order only, with collection arranged by appointment to keep things calm, fresh, and intentional.

Bread, made with intention

I’m not milling fresh flour at the moment, but I still bake bread the way I always have: slow, simple, and by feel. Bread is available by request and baked in small batches using quality ingredients and traditional methods.

A Hearth for sweet things

Dinwiddie Hearth has grown into a place for cosy, joyful treats — the kind you tuck into a lunchbox, enjoy on a walk, or pair with a quiet cup of tea. From chocolate creations to maple‑kissed bakes, everything is made to bring a little comfort to your day.

Baking with lineage, not formulas

This craft feels old in my hands — something passed down rather than learned. Dinwiddie Hearth is my way of carrying that heritage forward: baking with intention, respecting the ingredients, and creating food that nourishes in every sense.

If you want something homemade, small‑batch, and real… you’re in the right place. Just pre‑order, prepay, and collect at your arranged time — simple, calm, and made with care.

Why My Bread is Different

At Dinwiddie Hearth, bread is made the slow, simple way — small batches, shaped by hand, with ingredients you can trust. Whether it’s my traditional yeast‑raised loaves or my enriched 70/30 sourdoughs, the principles stay the same: honesty, intention, and respect for the grain.

Most supermarket breads are made for shelf‑life rather than flavour. To stay soft for weeks, they rely on preservatives, dough conditioners, and improvers that help the dough behave consistently on industrial machinery. It’s efficient, but it isn’t the same as slow, hands‑on craft.

Looking Ahead: Returning to Fresh‑Milled Flour

When mandatory folic‑acid fortification comes into effect in the UK, I’ll be returning fully to fresh‑milled flour for all my breads and bakes — unless I can source an unaltered white flour from a trusted supplier.

Fresh‑milling keeps the grain’s natural oils, aroma, and character intact. Nothing is lost, nothing is stabilised, nothing is altered. It’s flour as it has been for centuries, and it’s the direction I’m committed to moving back toward.

Simple, Honest Ingredients

Traditional Yeast Breads

My yeast‑raised loaves contain only:

flour
water
salt
yeast

No additives.
No improvers.
No preservatives.

Just honest bread, made the traditional way.

70/30 Sourdough Breads

My enriched sourdough loaves are naturally leavened with my house starter and include:

flour (wheat)
water
butter
sugar
salt
sourdough starter (flour, water)

Slow‑fermented, shaped by hand, and baked in small batches for a soft crumb and a gently caramelised crust.
