Much like decor, fashion, and technology – bread trends. Over the years, we’ve seen white bread shunned, wholewheat heroed, witnessed a gluten-free takeover and bounced back to the almighty sourdough.
Cape Town has become sourdough city, and we’re not complaining. It’s a versatile and seriously tasty bake. It also reaps some lekker health benefits: like natural fermentation which is good for your gut. Best of all, it has Mother City shoppers supporting local bakeries.
