We are very excited to finally offer our long awaited book of e5 recipes, and to say this has been a labour of love is an understatement. The idea and beginnings of this book started six years ago but we’ve finally had the time and space to bring our ideas together. We decided to self-publish and have the book printed by Calverts – a local print cooperative in Hackney.

This book captures a decade of e5 Bakehouse, from the opening of the first arch, to all the intricacies of milling, farming, and creating a community surrounding our love of sourdough.

Inside the pages of Hackney Wild you will find an in-depth guide to sourdough, recipes for our favourite cakes and loaves, and stories of how e5 Bakehouse came to be.

Order your copy here.

We can’t wait to share our story and recipes with you!

E5 Bakehouse has been making a foray into farming, our objective is to increase biodiversity, farm organically and lock up carbon. One definite means of achieving this is by planting trees.

To this end we are planting hedgerow and traditional orchard trees, in an agroforestry system, with support from the Woodland Trust. We have 6000 trees arriving imminently.

It’s a daunting task alone, but together it feels much more achievable.

Come and join us in Monewden to help plant trees together. We will lay on hot drinks, plus warming soup and bread.

Dates;

Saturday 25th January

Saturday 15th February

Saturday 7th March

Address;

Cherry Tree Farm, Monewden, Woodbridge, Suffolk

If interested please contact ben@e5bakehouse.com.

Open 24th December // Closed 25th – 27th // Reopen 28th – 31st // Closed 1st

Come and join us on Sunday 8th December for a festive Makers Market in our backyard.

There will be a range of handmade goods by local designers and producers, from prints, ceramics and textiles to wine and champagne. Ideal timing to pick up a gift for someone special or to indulge in something that is lovingly and thoughtfully produced.

We’ll be opening up our backyard container bar with mulled cider and mince pies, and playing some funky tunes.

Hope to see you there!
