The Rise of the Designer Bakery – digg

Designer Bakeries have dubbed bread as a luxury in some sense. I don’t know when last I bought bread in a plastic bag- it just isn’t my preferred dough no more. The natural ingredients that are being used at these artisan bakeries now mean that people will have to pay- but it seems the people don’t mind.
I’m going to introduce you to some of the coolest bakeries on this planet- let’s do this.

Cool blog,looking to communicate
Glad you like it Albert. How did you actually find it? I’m asking because It was launched not too long ago.
South Africans in general overlook the importance of good quality buns…
But I must say, when I lived overseas I never had such good bread, also made in wood-fired ovens.
The problem is most haven’t been introduced. For instance in France or Italy people have grown up eating wonderful breads and because of this it is only natural that bakeries will be of such a top standard, even the little understated ones.
Really interesting theme and cool site.
Love the topic. Yep, apart from a few bakeries found in the Johannesburg area, good bread is only found in homes where the culture and tradition still matter.
Coincidentally, found your site in my inbox as as a google alerts on “kitchen accessories”
Wow – That VyTA Boulangerie Italiana looks amazing. I would expect such an imposing building, architecture and art pieces to be some kind of palace. I’m truly surprised that this is in actual fact a bakery on STERIODS! I would certainly NOT mind to go have a fresh baguette there! Thanks for the delighting article.
I know, they are ridiculous!But each one was designed by a big shot architect.
What a cool blog!
