Sourdough, time and handwork

Our craft

Why our bread tastes the way it does. No secret, just sourdough, good ingredients and plenty of time.

The starter

One sourdough, for twelve years

Our sourdough has been alive for more than twelve years. Every day it gets fresh flour and water, and every day it gives a part of that back to our bread.

It is the reason our bread tastes the way it does. No yeast from a packet, no shortcut.

How we bake

Four things that matter to us

Sourdough, not yeast

We raise our bread with our own sourdough. It takes longer, but it makes the bread easier to digest and keeps it fresh longer.

No additives

No baking mixes, no enzymes, no additives. Only flour, water, salt and the ingredients that belong in the product.

A long rise

Our doughs rest for a long time, often overnight. That time gives the bread its flavour and the crust people come back for.

All in house

From the first mix to the last loaf, everything is made here in our bakery in Kreuzberg.

You cannot rush good bread. You can only give it time and then get out of the way.
