Sceal Sourdough Bakery - In Love With Live Yeast

Sceal is an epic loaf story.  A tale of two people (Shane and Charlotte) brought together through their shared passion for flavour, whose relationship spiralled and intertwined just as organically as their journey into food.

In our chat, we delve into the synthesis of their conjoined careers at top bakeries in San Francisco, and touch on the quirks of sourdough culture and the revival of ancient wheats (a la Fintan and Turlough Keenan), along with some of Charlotte's favourite flavour combinations that she used in the pastries they produce.

The bakery produces what is hands down the finest sourdough loaves in Ireland, along with stellar pastries, such as croissants and cruffins.  We're lucky enough to stock them in the Hopsack, and they can be found in a handful of markets and cafes such as The Fumbally and Proper Order around Dublin.
