Ringwood, VIC — baked before sunrise

Tom's Fancy Bakery

Fresh sourdough & pastries, baked daily. Proofed slowly, shaped by hand, never rushed.

It started in a tiny Ringwood kitchen — one starter jar, a secondhand oven, and a stubborn belief that good bread shouldn't be rushed. Every loaf still begins the night before.

The craft

Anatomy of a proper loaf

01

Proofed overnight

Shaped by hand at closing time, then rested slowly in the cool dark until morning.

02

24-hour ferment

Wild yeast does the heavy lifting. It's flavour you simply can't rush.

03

Crisp crust, open crumb

Stone-baked until deep amber — never pulled a minute early.

Get there early. The cinnamon scrolls do not survive past ten.
