Sourdough bread

Seven loaves, every morning from the stone oven.

All our bread starts with Bertha, a ten-year-old sourdough starter. No yeast, no bread improver. Just flour, water, salt and time: about 48 hours from feeding to baking. That gives an open crumb, a thick crust and a flavour that still holds up after three days.

  • About 48 hours of rising
  • Organic flour, freshly milled
  • Baked on stone
  • Every loaf also available as a half

Viennoiserie

Croissants and knots made with real butter.

Croissant dough takes us three days: making the dough, folding in the butter, resting, folding and resting again. That gives you layers that crackle when you bite in. We bake them in two rounds each morning, the second around ten.

  • French butter, 82% fat
  • Two baking rounds each morning
  • Left over from yesterday? Then it becomes an almond croissant
Baking rounds
07:30 and around 10:00
