For those that live on the north side of Brissy. I can recommend Bazzas Bakehouse at Kallangur, Frenches Forrest and Bray park for a great dogs eye, and no dead horse required.
My Favourite is the curry. Also family size, hard to beat.

Bake Bakery @ Coromandel valley.
I mentioned the recommendation by xahh to my daughter and she went for a visit on Sunday. She's a big vanilla slice fan. She rated it. Looks pretty good to me too. ![]()

On another note, the family sized quiches there were the biggest I've ever seen. You can see them in one of my previously posted photos in the fridge. I'm also a fan of the granny slice which is only available at a few bakeries. Its a vanilla slice but instead of icing on top, just a light dusting of icing sugar instead.

![]() I tried it with the family about 18 months ago after a recommendation. It was Sunday morning and quite busy so the service and food delivery was extremely slow. Can't recall anything outstanding about the experience though. Maybe wrong day/time?

Did you all know that it costs $2.50 for a pie in Jamaica but only 1.80 in Cuba?
It's not really important, I'm just letting you all know about the pie rates of the Caribbean. Bakery humour ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I agree with your recommendation on the pies from the Fire Station pie shop in Cooks Hill / Newcastle. It’s been many years since I last bought one, but they are memorable for a few reasons. Firstly, they have the highest gravy to meat ratio of any pie I’ve ever eaten. The shop’s heating oven is set at maximum temperature, and the pies are served scalding hot. If you’re eating the pie out of the paper bag rather than taking it home or whatever, it’s a big mistake to take a large bite first up. If you do you’ll have a sore tongue for the rest of the meal. After taking a small nibble to open it up and vent the heat, you have to hold the pie at least at a 45 degree angle or the contents will pour out. If you’re careful you can get through the rest of the pie over the next 15 minutes without a burned tongue. They’re too hot to eat any faster. On one occasion I had taken the first nibble and was letting it cool when two small leaks appeared in the pastry around the top, and the piping hot gravy started oozing out like lava from a volcano. After attempting to slurp it up and stop the leaks, turning the pie in my hands caused a small breach in the base, and from there the situation went downhill fast. Soon the meat and gravy began to flow from the base and the pastry started collapsing like concrete under an uncooled nuclear core. The whole molten mess then hit the paper bag underneath and it was about to go the full China syndrome meltdown and pour off the paper and into my lap. I had to move quickly to the bin and let it go much to the amusement of the other guys I was having lunch with. Despite that one mishap I recommend their pies. Take a plastic plate and fork just in case.

Sounds more like you need a straw first, then a fork.

Trendseeker, yep that's what happened to me at the Fire station, you soon learn the better option is to take it on a cooling ride first. Maybe eating it, admiring the passing whales.
The original Bourke st Bakery is tiny and probably why its hard to spot.

There's no substitute for hand made breads. I've made it several times over the years and the taste is much nicer than the mass produced varieties. Having said that, I've never experienced this kind of popularity.

How wide is the scope, and can it be made from a dry mix? If you allow these aspects, most Indian breads hot off the stove are scrumptious!
Unrelated, sometimes when buying challah I’d count the number on the shelf and if it was an even number I’d just buy one instead of the mandated pair. ![]() |

How hard is it to buy “sultana bread” now? Or “fruit bread” with sultanas and mixed peel?
We became Americanised and it morphed into “raisin bread”. ![]() I see leesa is a butter fan also. Cultured unsalted is my preference. |
