When people ask why artisan food costs more, the honest answer is bigger than "the ingredients."

Every year, the cost of running a small business goes up, and most of it happens quietly, behind the counter.

Wages rise, and everything tied to them rises too: superannuation (now at 12%), workers' comp, payroll costs. Insurance climbs. Electricity, gas and rent keep climbing. Flour, butter, eggs, coffee and packaging all cost more than they did a few years ago.

Then there are the changes most people never see, new regulations, new compliance, more admin. And from October, businesses can no longer pass card payment fees on to customers. That cost now sits with us.

For a bakery like ours, wages alone are close to half of everything we spend. We think skilled people deserve to be paid properly for their craft.

Could we cut costs? Absolutely.

Cheaper ingredients. Shorter fermentation. Swap australian cultured butter for cheaper fats. Add improvers, preservatives, additives.

But then it would not be Burleigh Baker.

We choose people, traditional craft and real ingredients, because that's what real food is.

Thank you for supporting local makers who still do it the slow way. Not because it's easy. Because it's right.

Inspired by the traditional German-Polish style of baking, this loaf is crafted with a balanced blend of wheat and rye, then naturally fermented for over 24 hours to develop its rich flavour and character.
We also activate our sunflower and pepita seeds before adding them to the dough, a traditional process that helps unlock flavour while supporting better mineral availability.

The result is a hearty, fibre-rich sourdough with a beautifully balanced rye flavour, subtle nuttiness, and a satisfying texture. Perfect lightly toasted with cultured butter, your favourite cheese, or simply enjoyed on its own.

Most people think great bread starts with wheat. We decided to challenge that idea.

Our Chickpea Loaf combines chickpea flour, rice flour and tapioca flour with a slow fermentation process to create a loaf that is full of flavour, satisfying to eat, and crafted with the same philosophy as every bread we bake.

🥖Our Baguettine is made with a blend of sustainably grown wheat and spelt flours, naturally leavened with sourdough and fermented for a minimum of 18 hours to develop flavour, texture and digestibility.

We are proud to share that last week our Baguettine was awarded 🥈 Second Place at the 2026 National Artisan Baking Competition, organised by the BAA (Baking Association of Australia).

This recognition reflects the passion, craftsmanship and dedication our bakers bring to every loaf we make.

🥪Introducing the new sandwich special: The French Beef Dip Sandwich.

Our chefs start with grass-fed Wagyu rump cap, roasted medium to preserve its tenderness and flavour. Each baguette is generously spread with our house-made Café de Paris butter, layered with caramelised onions, sliced beef, cornichons and cheese, before being gently warmed and finished with crisp cos lettuce.

Served alongside a rich house-made jus, crafted from the same beef bones and finished with a touch of Café de Paris butter, for the perfect dip.

Every element is prepared with intention. Every sandwich is built by hand.

Available at both shop while stocks last.

Did you know that digestion works best when the body feels safe?

When we are rushing, stressed, eating on the go, or constantly distracted, the body shifts away from "rest and digest" mode. Digestion slows down, nutrient absorption becomes less efficient, and even the best food may not be used as effectively.

At Burleigh Baker, our Gut Health Policy is not just about long-fermented sourdough, quality ingredients, and traditional processes.

It is also about how we eat.

Taking time to sit down. Slowing the pace. Enjoying a coffee. Sharing a conversation. Giving your body the space it needs to do what it was designed to do.

Because gut health is not only about what is on the plate.
It is also about the environment, the experience, and the state of mind in which we eat.

So here is your reminder to slow down for a moment today.

Your nervous system, your digestion, and your gut will thank you for it.

🍞Our Mission Loaf is crafted for those looking for more from their daily bread. Made with a blend of stoneground wholegrain wheat, spelt, rye, and purple wheat, it delivers more fibre, more flavour, and more of the grain's natural nutrition.

Fermented for 30–36+ hours, the sourdough culture has more time to transform the grain, supporting better digestibility, improved satiety, and a slower release of energy throughout the day.

This loaf dense in nutrients, rich in flavour and built for everyday nourishment. The one we reach for when nutrition matters just as much as taste 👌

Our sourdough bun range:

At Burleigh Baker, we take the same approach to our buns as we do to our sourdough bread: quality ingredients, slow fermentation, no nasties, and no shortcuts.

Whether it's our:

🥯 Sourdough Bagel – steamed New York style and topped with seeds. Made with 15% wholemeal flour and sourdough culture for a lighter, fluffier texture while retaining the character of a traditional bagel.

Olive Oil Bun – vegan, soft, flavourful, and made with extra virgin olive oil. Fermented for 18 hours to develop flavour and texture.

🧈 Sourdough Brioche Bun – made with free-range eggs, grass-fed butter, and a long fermentation for depth of flavour.

Elvis Bun – crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for burgers or breakfast rolls. Made from the same dough as our popular Burleigh Special.

🇮🇹 Ciabatta Bun – made using a sourdough-based dough with a touch of yeast, creating a light, open crumb and delicate golden crust. It toasts beautifully while remaining soft enough for easy eating and is perfect for both hot and cold sandwiches.

Each one is crafted to suit a different purpose, but they all share the same philosophy:

✔️ Real ingredients
✔️ Long fermentation
✔️ Better flavour
✔️ Better digestibility

Which one is your favourite? 👇

💡👀Did you know?

A high-protein breakfast is one of the best ways to support stable energy, reduce cravings, and stay fuller for longer throughout the day.

That is why we always encourage people to start their morning with a nourishing breakfast first.

Then, when morning tea comes around... that is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy a great coffee and a handcrafted sourdough pastry. ☕️🥐

Fun fact: coffee contains compounds called polyphenols (including tannins) that can reduce the absorption of certain minerals, particularly iron, when consumed with meals.

Now that is a morning worth looking forward to.

We've got your back and your gut 💅

Love your gut ✨
