I’m on a government scheme Enterprise Allowance. The locals like my breads but won’t buy any I’ve done 2 agricultural shows and sold out both in 2 hours despite working 24 hours beforeeach show to make fresh loaves. The demand is for unusual breads so I’m creating Breads eg a super sized Scottish Bap like Roll with a cross shaped top and made of a mix of Barley Rye and strong White Organics for all my Breads eg Multi-seeded bun round shaped loaf ect. my problem is getting decent Flour delivered and how to build up a regular clientel. I managed to get sponsored to do Breadmatters “Baking for a living course” but it doesn’t seem relevant to this rural area any tips? please. I’m trying to wow customers eg Tibetan Barley Bread unyeasted as unusual. I went to a famous Scottish Artisan Brewery and made spent grain bread successfully and was then told by local EHO she wouldn’t allow it to be sold because of a possible risk of toxins!
many thanks for any guidance Andrew to be Seil Bread
