Flour and Sweet Southport QLD

My last gig was with the folks at Flour Bakery in the Brickyards Market in Southport, Queensland. I enjoyed 2 shifts in their wonderful bakery. Jesse Downes and his team showed me a lot of interesting products. I was 'taken to school' on my hand moulding techniques...no knuckles no aggressive de-gassing!

Jesse also looks after the sister shop in the market called 'Sweet' which offers another line of desserts and chocolates.

Great products from both shops!

Here is a link to their page at the Sourdough Companion website.

PS: Jesse Downes, who is the talented and creative production manager at Flour is the son of the legendary John Downes, often called the granfather of Australian sourdough and promoter of many wood-fired brick ovens and of Natural Tucker fame. Jesse looks like becoming his own legend!
