Since 2011
We don't have sourdough bread in Egypt. When I started to travel in Europe I tasted sourdough for the first time, and I couldn't ignore the idea of trying to make it at home. I read a lot of books and practiced on my own. I worked for about 2 years before I began to see satisfying results. Now we are proud to create the best artisan bread in Egypt.
Characteristics
Our sourdough is eight years old; it was our third attempt at creating sourdough after 2 failures. It's very active after fermentation, pale in color.
