Introducing Ania and the E5 team: Crafting Sourdough Magic with a Purpose
In the heart of London, there's a brand that has been baking irresistible sourdough bread for over a decade. E5, born as a bakery, has become a symbol of culinary excellence, delighting both the public and renowned restaurants.
E5's expertise lies in the art of sourdough, creating heavenly loaves and mouthwatering pizzas. But their impact goes beyond the kitchen. They embrace an ethical and sustainable approach, making a difference in their community and championing organic practices.
Beyond baking, E5 collaborates with refugees in their Poplar Bakehouse, offering them a chance to rebuild their lives through the therapeutic power of bread-making. Profits are invested in associations supporting refugee communities in the UK, fostering empowerment and a sense of belonging.
Sustainability is at the core of E5's values. They proudly own Fellows Farm in Suffolk, transforming previously intensively farmed arable fields into vibrant hubs of biodiversity and regenerative agriculture. The farm supplies the bakery with a weekly harvest of cereals, vegetables and fruit.
Step into E5's enchanting world housed under two arches in Hackney. Inside, you'll find spacious kitchens, a traditional baker's oven, and a remarkable French stone mill. Flour is expertly crafted on-site, the foundation of their exceptional bread.
E5 is more than a brand; it's a catalyst for positive change. With each loaf baked, they strive to make a difference socially, economically, and environmentally. Join us on this extraordinary journey where sourdough baking becomes a transformative force, creating delicious bread while uplifting communities and treading lightly on our planet.
