🍞 Sourdough Drop – Sunday, October 17th
Although we will be at the Strathroy Night Market from 4-10pm, we would like to offer free local delivery ($4) and pick-up in Melbourne, ON Saturday afternoon if you cannot make it out to see us!
Online pre-ordering is now open!
Sourdough is bread made the old way; with time, patience, and a living starter.
Just flour, water, salt, and wild fermentation. Nothing added. Nothing rushed.
What makes your bread different?
Every loaf is naturally leavened and slow-fermented overnight.
That long rest is what gives it its deep flavor, open crumb, and dark, crackling crust.
No shortcuts. Just process.
Why is every loaf a little different?
Because it’s alive.
Temperature, humidity, fermentation - they all shift slightly day to day.
We control the craft, not the variables.
What’s in it?
Flour. Water. Salt. Starter.
That’s it.
Do you use commercial yeast?
Never. Our bread rises on its own schedule using a wild sourdough starter we maintain daily.
When is your bread baked?
Most of our baking happens Sunday morning, after the dough has had time to develop properly overnight.
That’s when sourdough is at its best!
How fresh is the bread?
Everything is baked in small batches.
What you get is what came out of the oven Sunday morning ready for porch pick-up/delivery.
How should I store it?
Keep it at room temperature in a paper bag or wrapped in a cloth.
Avoid plastic (it softens the crust).
For longer storage, slice and freeze.
How long does it last?
3–5 days at room temperature, though it’s best in the first couple.
After that, you can slice it and freeze it; it makes excellent toast.
What is focaccia?
Focaccia is a soft, olive oil–rich Italian bread with a crisp, golden surface and a light, airy interior.
Ours is slow-fermented like our sourdough - stretched by hand, dimpled, and finished with toppings like sea salt and rosemary, olives, and parmesan and black pepper.
Do you take custom orders?
If you have something in mind, reach out and we’ll see what’s possible.
When is porch pick-up?
Every bread drop will be announced on our website and instagram so keep an eye out for dates. Porch pick-up Sunday between 2-3:30pm EST.
Where do you deliver?
Bread drop dates will be announced on our website and instagram. We will deliver for a $4 fee to Strathroy, Mt. Brydges, Delaware, Komoka, Kilworth and London Sunday between 4pm and 6:30pm EST.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept e-transfer to confirm orders.
For e-transfers, please send to orders.midnightoven@gmail.com and input your order number and name.
Is your sourdough bread nut-free or allergen-free?
Our products are made in a kitchen that handles nuts and other common allergens such as dairy, eggs, and wheat. While specific items may not contain nuts as ingredients, they may contain traces of these allergens due to shared equipment and preparation areas. We cannot guarantee that any of our products are free from allergens. If you have a severe allergy, please take this into consideration or contact us for more information.
