Pure Knead

About Pure Knead

Pure Knead is an artisan sourdough bakery that started at Tynemouth Market in 2015 and built a devoted following before opening a permanent home inside Gosforth Central, where it sold out within hours of opening. The sourdough is the real thing — each loaf takes 48 hours using only flour, water, and salt, with no additives, improvers, or shortcuts, producing bread with genuine depth of flavour and a properly cracking crust. The range spans classic white and wholemeal sourdoughs alongside more creative seasonal bakes, plus pastries, cakes, slices, and savoury goods made with the same commitment to pure ingredients and proper technique, and a bespoke cake service for birthdays, weddings, and celebrations. Pure Knead now operates from three sites — Gosforth Central, Park View in Whitley Bay, and Dean Street in Newcastle — bringing genuine artisan baking within walking distance of the High Street. The Gosforth branch is open Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30am.
