About the microbakery
Hi, I’m Tanja.
I grew up in Germany, where good bread is part of everyday life. When I moved abroad, I missed the authentic slow-fermented sourdough with a soft crumb and a crunchy crust I grew up with, so I started baking it myself.
What began as a kitchen necessity became an obsession. My starter has travelled far: parts of it have found homes across Europe and as far as Australia. My customers also share my bread with their families and carry loaves home to countries as far away as South Korea and India.
Out of the Oven by Tanja is my small sourdough microbakery in Rotterdam. I bake on Saturdays with flour from a local Schiedam mill. All loaves are handmade, weigh 900g, use 100% sourdough and ferment for up to 36 hours.
