Down a peaceful lane in the central Victorian city of Trentham is a little bakery. The laneway is named after John Wolff, who hand-crafted the bakery’s wooden-fired scotch oven in 1891.
Bread from that oven fed the farming and forestry city till 1987, when, unable to compete with inexpensive, fluffy white manufacturing unit bread, the bakers let the fire die, and the oven went cold.
In 2005, brothers John and Alan Reid identified the oven, a short while ago renovated by a nearby musician, and went into business enterprise baking sourdough bread. They named the bakery RedBeard, and it once again became the heart of the community when locals ended up invited to prepare dinner their roasts and bake cakes for special activities when the bread experienced been designed. Finally, Alan went out on his have and John ongoing constructing the business enterprise with their sister, Judith Reid.

But John Reid, 58, is not at the bakery now. He seldom is these times. Early this calendar year, he started off finding complications and on February 14, he could not generate property right after a bake. On February 23, he was identified with phase 4 glioblastoma mind cancer and a 7 days later, surgeons ended up only in a position to get rid of half of the 6cm tumour that experienced fashioned in his brain.
Word of Reid’s situation unfold throughout Victoria’s restricted-knit baking group, many of whom experienced skilled at RedBeard, which specialises in handmade natural sourdough bread.
“Wild-ferment bakers came out of the woodwork, out of retirement, to offer their assist,” claims Reid’s sister, Judith. “They volunteered their time and arrived at midnight to start mixing. Some arrived at 3am to form the dough. There is a lot of respect for what John has finished for baking.”

1 of the helpers is British-born baker Michael James, previously of Tivoli Road Bakery in South Yarra. A very good friend of Reid’s, they travelled with each other in the United States traveling to bakers. “He was recognized everywhere we went,” states James. “He has a status that is regarded globally. Regionally, he is an essential mentor.”
John and Judith Reid have travelled all more than Australia, scouring place towns for disused scotch ovens, identifying them by their chimneys protruding from aged buildings. Just after cataloguing them, they try to restore them and uncover bakers to do the job in them.
James starts listing Victorian bakeries whose bakers invested time with Reid at RedBeard: Basilio in Ballarat, Oak and Swan in South Gippsland, Two Fold, Daylesford. “John has a vision wherever each and every city has its own baker, baking sourdough bread and pastries built from regional grain,” states James.
He has taken about Reid’s pet task: perfecting croissants and other butter pastries employing specially raised sourdough mothers. “It’s more sophisticated than it looks,” claims James.
The stoic Englishman pauses. “John is the coronary heart and soul of RedBeard,” he states quietly. “He is a basis of our nation’s artisan baking group. We are here to make certain what he started out continues.”
Reid has not only trialled old-fashioned heritage grains but, working with author Bruce Pascoe, he has planted trial plots of kangaroo grass and native millet in a paddock opposite the bakery in an hard work to bake bread from native Australian grains.

Now undergoing treatment method and investing time with his wife, Thais, sons, and near household, Reid would desperately like to go back again to bake, states Judith. “Even with the point he has shed 50 for each cent of his vision, he is continue to able to slice and part uncooked dough, bodyweight-great for a loaf – without scales – and form it by hand.”
Reid’s spouse and organization husband or wife, Thais, intends to retain the bakery operating. RedBeard’s improvised bakery team moves quietly, competently about each individual other in a very well-rehearsed dance of weighing, measuring, slicing, cooking, shaping and baking. There is a warm electricity once in a while dampened by tacit unhappiness.
Apprentice Fin Ward, from Darwin, chops leeks silently. Prepare dinner Angela Nicolettou, who joined the staff in November, came for a sourdough bread-baking workshop and was so impressed by Reid’s ethos she questioned if she could enable in the kitchen.
“RedBeard is a very specific put,” claims Nicolettou. “It really is not just about bread it is about building and spreading knowledge and setting up interactions at the very same time. “John’s condition…” She falters. “I just come to feel so privileged.”

The rise and increase of Sydney’s new-wave bakeries LEE TRAN LAM July 19 2021
Sydney’s on a roll with a new wave of chef-direct bakeries: Shiitake mushroom pithivier at LuMi. Picture: Equipped
Sydney’s most effective new sandwiches 2021
Chefs have fuelled Sydney’s newfound hunger for pastries, and their spin-off bakeries are below to keep.
The tale of Lode Pies commences with a rolling pin and some bruises. The star merchandise at Federico Zanellato’s before long-to-open up Surry Hills bakery is the pithivier, a French design and style of pie that is physically hard to make.
Tickled pink: the finger bun is back again, and it is no for a longer period just a tuckshop treat
“When I was carrying out all the trials, I cried for months due to the fact I couldn’t get it ideal,” the award-profitable chef claims.
He at first attempted it in late 2018 at his Pyrmont restaurant, LuMi Eating. When Zanellato served his first successful pithivier there 3 months later, the tears might’ve stopped – but the pain did not.
He was using a rolling pin to incorporate butter into the dough and it was a “nightmare”, Zanellato states. “All my fingers had been ruined.” Yet another chef had bruises all in excess of his fingers and palms.

Every single pithivier is created from layers of laminated dough, with butter painstakingly folded in between. “It would acquire permanently,” he says.
As soon as Zanellato nailed it, the pithivier became a significant strike at LuMi Dining. “But I’ve probably ruined 3 or 4 cooks,” he jokes. “I think they gave up cooking for the reason that of the pie, because of the pithivier.”
At Lode Pies, which the chef hopes to open up in August, the practical experience will be bruise-absolutely free: the chef has spent $10,000 on a machine that will routinely laminate fridge-temperature dough – no rolling pin necessary. It’s going to with any luck , speed up the time-intensive system: at LuMi, the pithivier took a few days to make.
During Sydney’s initially lockdown previous yr, Zanellato offered a takeaway variation at Cafe Leo in the CBD, which he operates with Karl Firla. It marketed out in minutes – and kept on providing. “We just couldn’t maintain up with the creation.”
It was the identical story at the Saturday markets Vic’s Meat ran at its Mascot web page in the course of the last stretch of lockdown. “When we go back to typical, the new standard, I want to think of a store all around the principle of a pie,” Zanellato considered to himself.
He was not the only a person to consider this – his customers were being telling him this, much too.

“You should really do pies, you ought to promote them separately, you should do a store,” they instructed him. He understood they meant it: there were being healthy gross sales to back their affirmation.
Other chefs all-around Sydney observed a identical demand. When Flavio Carnevale turned his Roman cucina, Marta, in Rushcutters Bay, into a bakery throughout the to start with lockdown, his buyers instructed him the similar detail – he could hardly ever make sufficient maritozzi (brioche buns), focaccia or other baked Italian products.
Any extra portions would disappear soon right after they ended up place on display screen. “You are not going to close,” visitors told him, indicating that Marta’s Roman Bakery had to develop into a permanent aspect.

“So mainly we’ve kept it, every weekend,” he states. More than a 12 months on, it can be heading robust and Carnevale has even extended the bakery’s opening hours during the 7 days for this latest lockdown.
It truly is a sentiment repeated at the Sixpenny pop-up bakery in Stanmore, which at the moment has men and women queueing for at least 30 minutes for sweet treats and led to operator Daniel Puskas seeking for a everlasting spin-off bakery, way too.
Appropriate now, Zanellato is furiously screening recipes for Lode Pies with chef/co-proprietor Lorenzo Librino, who labored with him at LuMi for nearly two decades. The pithivier will headline the menu: its well-scored pastry stuffed with carefully cooked Berkshire pork mince and roasted shiitakes deglazed with crimson wine.
There are vegetarian variations in the operates (“my favourite is silverbeet, ricotta and comte”, Zanellato says), as nicely as interpretations of the French galette des rois dessert. “We have an Aussie edition … designed with a macadamia frangipane and desert lime jam.”
Count on sausage rolls that includes intensely caramelised Berkshire pork mince. “We have been tests it with all the tradies at Lode at the instant,” the chef states. “This is the best sausage roll, really diverse to the a single I get from the petrol station!” they tell him. “I hope it is really different to the one particular at the petrol station, or else we are likely to shut down the shop in a couple of months,” Zanellato jokes.
There’ll also be northern-style cannoli loaded with pistachio, hazelnut or rum and vanilla cream. It reminds Zanellato of his upbringing in Padua, in northern Italy, wherever cannoli was component of his diet plan. “They were being one of my favourites.” It can be a habit that Sydneysiders will most likely get up when Lode opens.
