Local Bakers in Mermaid Waters QLD

Life is a great big bakery – start feasting

We have the fundamentals - sugar, butter, flour.  Then add a few cups of adventure and a pinch of gratitude. Pastries and breads, like life itself, come in the wildest variety and can be sweet or savoury, dense or fluffy.

Today lets look at some of the most popular pastries and baked goods bakers all around whip up.

• Pie: a dish of meat, fruit or vegetables housed and baked in a pastry. Popular types include apple, pecan and cherry pie. Savoury fillings include beef and steak. See the selection offered by bakeries nearby.
• Danishes: A speciality of Denmark, these are offered in apple, cherry and pear varieties. They are crispy and golden on the outside, and buttery and flaky on the inside.
• Pretzels: Knotted in shape, pretzels are made with baked dough and are offered in hard and soft varieties.
• Pita: A flat, hollow and doughy delicious pocket bread which can be split open to hold a filling (something sweet like fig and jam, to something savoury like falafel and hummus).
• Croissants: originating from France, these puffy and flaky rolls are famed for their texture and crescent shape.

Go to as many local bakeries are you can and enjoy a hearty tasting of all the delicious foods they bake – from cakes to buns, and focaccias to filo pastries.
