Bread obsession

06 Oct 2011, Posted by Cape Town Girl in CTG recommends, food, 0 Comments

Currently obsessed with artisan breads, and since I’m a bit sick of the usual suspects I’ve stumbled on this absolute jewel of an unknown. Above is a semi-rye country sourdough loaf from a bakery called Dirk Bakes Bread. Artisan to the tee – he makes to order mostly, and all of it’s wood-fired. Plus he’s quite difficult to get hold of, so it really feels like an achievement when you get to place and receive your order (so Cape Town). I don’t know how he gets that incredibly soft inside but it’s got me risking my carb allowance for it. Right before summer too! I ordered some of his ciabattas for a dinner party a while back and they were amazing!
