Who we are
At Five Loaves Sourdough Bakery, we are passionate about bringing back the true essence of bread. Established in October 2021, we specialize in crafting artisanal sourdough bread and pastries using our cherished sourdough starter, known as FroDough, which has been maturing since January 2013. Our dedication to time-honored techniques and quality ingredients ensures that every loaf and pastry is a testament to the artistry and flavor of sourdough baking.
The name of our bakery, "Five Loaves," is inspired by the biblical story of Jesus feeding 5000 people with just five loaves of bread. This story serves as a reminder of the power and significance of bread in our lives and underscores our mission to provide nourishing and fulfilling products to our customers.
We currently operate from our home base in Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort, serving the local community and beyond.

from 63 reviewsA traditional sourdough second to none. How awesome is it to know that I have access to such a winner so close to home. Five Loaves Bakery is so worth it! Rhonal - meeting you was such a pleasure!
The sourdough cinnamon rolls were super delicious. I got them when they were still warm - what a treat!
I really enjoyed this sourdough - it was fresh, full of flavour, and had the perfect balance between a soft inside and a lovely crust. You can tell it’s been made with care and quality ingredients. I’ll definitely be buying again and would highly recommend it to others.
The family have greatly enjoyed it.
Fluffy and light. So much better for my gut than shop bought bread and so delicious. Easy to freeze and love to toast it with loads of butter.
Wow! Party in your mouth. Every bite is flavourful and you can get creative with the toppings and pop it in the air fryer.
I bought the bread for the first time and I love it. It nice, fresh and taste good
