Welcome to Creative Crusts

Welcome to Creative Crusts, the wholesale division of the multi award winning Uncle Bobs Bakery.

Owner Brett Noy decided to start Creative Crusts after the constant over whelming demand from Brisbane’s top chefs for consistently high quality handmade bakery products.

Testiment to our high quality hand made products and commitment to service is our constant growing client base, these include some of Brisbanes best fine Dinning establishments such as - Sirromet Winery, Isis Brassiere, Salon, Tonic, Restaurant Manx, and Conrad Treasury Casino to name but a few.

Creative Crusts production methods use techniques that have been mostly forgotten by the mainstream industry, combining a mix of artistry, craftsmanship, and science, unique flavours and exceptional keeping qualities are delivered in every piece of our hand crafted product.

Our recent wins in the Australian Artisan Cup - Artisan Breads 2007 and Artisan Sweet Yeast 2008 as well as Australian Team selection is testiment to the fact that when it comes to quality, consistency and innovation, Creative Crusts are the Queensland market leaders.

The Art of Artisan Baking, What is it?

Artisan baking is a lost art to most of the baking industry these days, but at Creative Crusts we still use and teach this method. The flavours and aromas that are created by the longer fermentation process are well worth the effort, the end result is reward enough in itself.

Artisan Breads require the use of preferment’s with a small amount of yeast or in the case of sourdough a levain or culture which can take anywhere from 12 hours to 2 days to reach a required level of maturity. Once the preferment is ready, it is then added to the final dough at a predetermined amount suitable for the product being produced.

Preferment’s eliminate the use of chemical improvers, preservatives and in most cases the removal of fats, oils and sugars all of which have become a standard part of today’s bread baking process. We choose to use only the highest quality ingredients such as Corman Belguin Butter, and the finest Olive Oils, our flours from Laucke Flour Mills are specially selected and monitored to ensure they give us optimum performance and consistency.

Due to their process Artisan Breads rely solely on the quality of the raw ingredients and the skill and knowledge of the craftsperson charged with its care, when these things are combined correctly it results in products that are trulely unique.
