Pre-ferment

Good bread needs good preparation.

What is pre-ferment?

A pre-ferment is part of the dough that is prepared hours before the actual baking.

This proofing time ensures more flavor, better structure, and even leavening.

Why we work with pre-ferments

Pre-ferment is not an extra – it's a mark of quality.

More Flavor
The longer fermentation develops fine, round flavor notes.

Open Crumb
The bread becomes lighter and develops a beautiful porosity.

Improved Dough Handling
The dough becomes more stable and easier to work with consistently.

Time, Not Haste
We give the dough the rest it needs.

Our preferment

Depending on the type of bread, we prepare the preferment several hours before baking. This creates the basis for a bread that not only looks good but also tastes good.

This preparation is part of our craft – every day in the bakery.

Where to find it
