Thirty hours. Three ingredients.
Flour, water, salt. No yeast, no improver, and the dough gets as long as it needs. Which is why we're usually sold out by two in the afternoon.
What makes this bread different
There's no secret and no trick. It's just slower than the way bread is usually made now.
-
Three bakes a day
Bread comes out of the oven at six, at nine and at one. Nothing sits on the shelf from the morning.
-
Flour from local mills
We work with four mills, all within two hundred kilometres. The sack says which grain it came from and when it was milled.
-
Nothing that doesn't belong
No yeast, no improver, no preservative. If a loaf dries out on the third day, that is exactly right.
-
The same six people
Six of us start at two in the morning. The same ones stand behind the counter later, and can tell you what you're holding.
What we bake
The daily range depends on the starter's mood and the season. This is what's always there.
-
Sourdough loaves
The backbone. Thirty hours of cold fermentation, then into the oven under cast iron with steam. That's why the crust cracks and the crumb stays moist into the fourth day.
- White sourdough, 1 kg
- Wholemeal rye
- Seeded spelt, 750 g
-
Morning pastries
Croissants and brioche, laminated with French butter over three days. Ready by eight and usually gone by ten — worth reserving.
- Butter croissant
- Cocoa swirl
- Curd cheese parcel
-
To order
Office breakfasts, weddings, family occasions. We need two days' notice, because that's when the dough has to be started.
- Bread boards for 10–60
- Sandwiches from local produce
- Seasonal celebration loaves
Common questions
When is the bread fresh?
Six, nine and one o'clock. The mid-morning bake is the biggest and the afternoon one the smallest — after two there is often only pastry left.
Can I reserve something?
Yes, by phone or at the counter. We hold it under your name until eleven, after which it goes back on the shelf.
Do you have gluten-free products?
No. We work with wheat flour in a single room, so we can't rule out cross-contamination, and we don't sell what we can't stand behind.
