Return to Morpeth
Your are welcome to visit the site of the historic Arnott Bakehouse c. 1850 now the home of Morpeth Sourdough and Arnott's Bakehouse Restaurant.
Come and meet the baker, Stephen Arnott, and his wife Allison, this is the site where William Arnott, the biscuit baker and his brother David baked in the 1860's. Stephen is following in his great great great grandfather's footsteps of producing wholesome, sourdough bread for the township of Morpeth.
Morpeth Sourdough is available now throughout the state and the product range includes 12 different types of sourdough. The original shop at the front of the building retails fresh sourdough from Wednesday to Sunday where you can enjoy sourdough tasting and condiments from the Hunter region and take home some fresh sourdough.
Morpeth Sourdough produces traditional and authentic sourdough bread using the same recipes and techniques used by our ancestors, this method dates back to 10,000BC in Egypt and is the original method of making bread. The bread is made using only high quality flour, purified water and sea salt, no additives are used, that is, no baker's yeast, preservatives, raising agents, emulsifiers, stabilisers, extenders or bulking agents, so it’s good for you. The chewy texture and wheaty flavour are the result of extended dough fermentation. In fact the process takes 30 hours - real sourdough.
