Real bread.
Every Saturday.

The Baker

Hi, I'm Tanja.

I grew up in Germany where good bread is simply part of life. When I moved to Sweden, I quickly realized that the dense, tangy, slow-fermented sourdough I grew up with just didn't exist there. So I started baking it myself.

What began as a kitchen necessity turned into an obsession. My starter has since travelled far — bits of it have found new homes across Europe and as far as Australia. I've been baking every week since.

Now based in Rotterdam, I bake on Saturdays. Small batches, proper fermentation, nothing artificial. This is a hobby, but I take it seriously.
