🌾 Aussie Ingredients Spotlight #3: Manildra Group 🌾

Welcome back to our series celebrating the premium Australian ingredients that make our bakery special! Today, we’re shining the spotlight on an essential partner behind almost everything we make: Manildra Group.

Founded in 1952, Manildra has grown from a single flour mill in New South Wales into a world-class, 100% Australian family-owned business. For over seven decades, they’ve stayed true to their roots, supporting local farming communities and delivering world-standard milling excellence.

At Childers Hot Bread and Cake Shop, quality flour isn't just an ingredient—it's the backbone of our entire operation. That’s why we proudly rely on Manildra’s 100% Australian-grown, non-GMO flours and baking products.

From our daily handcrafted loaves of bread and sweet cakes to our signature pies and sausage rolls, using clean, premium, non-GMO flour ensures you get the highest quality, healthiest, and best-tasting bake every single day. 🍞🥧🍰

We’re proud to partner with Aussie producers who value quality as much as we do.

🗣️ Things You Hear Around the Bakehouse at 3:00 AM 🥱☕

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes before our doors open each morning? It’s equal parts science, passion, and some very interesting conversations...

Here are a few real phrases overheard in our bakehouse this week:

“Rise and shine!” (Said directly to a tray of dough that is taking its sweet time proofing) 🍞

“You’re looking a bit flaky today…” (Talking to the sausage roll pastry, not the baker) 🥐

“Hold your breath, nobody make a sudden move!” (Carrying a tray of freshly piped cream buns across the room) 🧁

“Does this crust sound hollow enough to you?” (Tapping a sourdough loaf like a watermelon) 🍉🥖

“One for the display case, one for quality testing…” (Strictly essential baker business, of course) 🥧

Baking is hard work, but we wouldn't trade it for the world!

🥛 Local Ingredients Spotlight #1: Norco Milk

Following on from our introduction to our local suppliers, we’re kicking off our ingredient series with the dairy that powers our bakery every single day: Norco Milk!

Whether it's the rich cream in our baked treats or every drop of milk across the business—from your morning coffees to the cold flavoured milks in our fridge—we rely on Norco to keep things authentic, fresh, and delicious.

Why We Choose Norco

100% Australian & Farmer-Owned: Established in 1895 in Byron Bay, Norco is one of Australia’s last 100% farmer-owned dairy co-operatives. Every drop directly supports farming families across Northern NSW and South East Queensland.

Wholesome Local Quality: Premium milk starts with happy cows on green pastures. That natural richness gives our coffee micro foam and fresh whipped creams.
Backing Our Locals: Choosing Norco means keeping profits in our regional communities and protecting family farming legacies for generations to come.

Where You’ll Find Norco at Childers Hot Bread

In Your Coffee: Frothed fresh for your morning flat white, cappuccino, or latte.

In Our Bakery: Real cream in our sweet pastries, rich velvety quiche pie, and fresh cream buns and donut that melt in your mouth.

In the Fridge: Ready-to-go bottles of fresh whole milk and classic flavoured milks.

When you enjoy your favorite bake or morning brew with us, you’re not just getting fresh quality—you're supporting Aussie dairy farmers with every single bite and sip!
