When Precision
Defines Every Decision

At The Red Hill Baker, exacting standards are non-negotiable. Every loaf, every baguette and every batch of dough reflects a commitment to traditional methods and precise fermentation. Founder Ray Johns, alongside his family, has built their reputation for exceptional bread by being uncompromising. Mauri provides the flour performance and technical partnership to make that possible.
Technical

Getting technical

How have Mauri’s flour and ingredient solutions helped your bakery maintain artisan quality and consistency?

Getting the feedback on the new season’s flour from Mauri is vital. You need to know these things so you can adjust hydration and mixing times. That technical information helps maintain the standard people expect. The flour takes hydration well, which gives you the bubbles you want. It’s very usable flour, running at about 11.8 protein, which is perfect for what we want.
Craft

Strengthening craft proactively

How has Mauri’s technical and customer support team helped your business?

Scott from the Mauri technical team is terrific. There’s never been a problem because the technical support is proactive. With their experience and ours combined, we’ve overcome challenges and developed new products. We’ve got a few products that are seriously good, and they helped along the way.

A partnership of excellence

For The Red Hill Baker, consistency starts long before the dough is mixed. Understanding seasonal flour variation and having access to technical expertise allows the team to adjust their process and maintain the quality their customers expect. With Mauri’s support, they continue to refine their craft and develop new products while staying true to traditional baking methods.

Supporting

Supporting signature products

How do Mauri’s products help you stay competitive and meet changing consumer demands?

Our business has grown at the same time as our supply with Mauri, so our customers are happy. Our wholesale business has also grown significantly since COVID. We’ve developed our products with Mauri’s products. Our baguette is as good as you can buy anywhere because of the fermentation and Mauri’s flour. We also make a loaf called the Cafone, a sourdough using our own yeast and Mauri’s flour. It’s amazing.”
