Every month, certain products fly off our shelves faster than others, and it's always interesting to see which baked goods our customers are reaching for time and time again.
This month, three standout favourites have captured the hearts (and taste buds) of Baker Tom customers: our Sourdough Rye, Saffron Buns, and Garlic Focaccia.
Each one offers something completely different, proving that there really is a Baker Tom bake for every occasion.
Sourdough Rye: Rich Flavour with Character
Our Sourdough Rye continues to be a popular choice for customers looking for a loaf packed with flavour.
Made using traditional sourdough methods and rye flour, this loaf delivers a distinctive depth of taste and a hearty texture that makes every slice satisfying. The natural tang of sourdough pairs beautifully with the earthy notes of rye, creating a loaf that's full of character.
Customers love it:
- Toasted with butter
- Topped with smoked salmon or cream cheese
- Served alongside soups and stews
- Used for open sandwiches
It's a loaf that proves simple ingredients can create something truly special.
Saffron Buns: A Taste of Cornwall
Few products are as closely associated with Cornwall as the traditional Saffron Bun.
Soft, lightly spiced, and filled with juicy fruit, these much-loved buns have been enjoyed for generations and remain one of our most popular sweet treats.
Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea, shared with family, or simply picked up as an afternoon treat, Saffron Buns continue to be a firm favourite among both locals and visitors.
Their unique flavour and comforting familiarity make them a true Cornish classic.
Garlic Focaccia: Impossible to Resist
Golden, aromatic, and packed with flavour, our Garlic Focaccia has developed a loyal following of its own.
Freshly baked and generously topped with garlic and herbs, it's the kind of product customers often come back for once they've tried it.
Perfect for:
- Sharing platters
- Serving with pasta dishes
- Dipping into olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- Enjoying warm straight from the bag
Its soft texture and savoury flavour make it one of our most irresistible bakes.
