The Daily Bagle at Nottingham

Today we will be taking the slow road to Midlands Meander in Kwazulu Natal, with farmlands, grazing cattle, dams, and farm stores along the way.

I was in search of the best Sourdough bread in the Midlands, when we made a pitstop at The Loos of Blueberry Cafe, a place that took our breath away; we were oohing and aahing at the quaint, stylish, gracious, whatever style you can think of, decor! We enjoyed a scrumptious lunch at this special cafe on Netherwood Farm.

Their deli did not sell baked goods, and I was told the very best Sourdough bread is found at The Daily Bagle in Nottingham Road. I was surprised to see this bakery actually was established in my hometown Durban in 2018!

Temptations there were aplenty, and if I had not just had a big lunch, I certainly would have left this little bakery with way more bags.
I ended up not only buying sourdough bread and rolls, but also walked away with featherlight croissants and pastries, honey candy, smoked meats, and stone ground flour.

First up were spices - Chilli Salt, Seafood Spice, and Braai Salt, all beautifully packaged in tins. Prices started at ZAR60 for a Travel tin, and up to ZAR235 for Gift Sets.

Braai (BBQ) Boxes containing all the spices for the man in charge of the Braai (or BBQ)
Below that was a shelf of Stonelodge Granola - Goji Ginger, Nut & Seed, and Vegan.

A shelf of Millstone Stoneground Artisan Flour for the bakers, and one of those packs went into my basket, which eventually got heavier the further I walked into the bakery.

Ready mixes to make Beer Breads - Chilli & Garlic as well as Olive & Rosemary.

The frozen section had some really tempting foods - frozen sourdough bread and rolls, frozen Beef Fillet Wellington, and even more tempting smoked meats from Dargle Valley Meats - Spinach & Feta Chicken Rolls wrapped in Bacon, Bacon and smoked Sausages, all made from sow friendly Pork.

Wedgewood Handmade Honey Nougat, the very best nougat in the entire SA, my favourite being the Macadamia Nougat, beautifully packed in gift boxes. Of course, I bought a couple of bars of nougat, as the gift boxes were way too costly.

Bread rolls - Sesame Seed and Roasted Onion

Croissants and Choux Pastries to die for - Chocolate, Nuts and Cream; a couple of those went into my basket. The friendly saleslady offered to keep some on the counter, very clever, as it made me pick up more items to fill the basket!

Colourful Macaroons and mini Cheesecakes to die for!

And finally the treasure of the day - my Sourdough bread!

No bakery is worth its salt if there is no Gingerbread Men.
Other tempting cookies were Triple Choc, Peanut Butter, and Ginger.

A last temptation was Honeycomb Rock as well as Caramel Sprinkles, and little Bears with tummies filled with honey, said goodbye to us before we hit the road back home.

This has been my contribution to the lovely @dswigle's Market Friday, sooo glad you're back Denise, wishing you a very speedy recovery!
Happy Market Friday everyone!
