Our story

We're up before the city is.

The Oven Door is a small bakery on Dunhill Rise. We mix our doughs the night before, prove them slowly, and shape every loaf by hand at four in the morning so there's something proper waiting when the door opens.

Stoneground flour, sea salt, water, time. That's the whole recipe. Leeds is home, and we bake for the people who live here.

On the bench today

What's coming out of the oven.

The list moves with the seasons and what the bakers fancy. Specials go up on the chalkboard above the counter each morning.

Kind words

"Customer quotes from regulars at the shop will sit here once the owner has chosen the ones they'd like to feature."
