Homemade bread

Bread fromthe mill

Breakfast or brunch is part of every stay and recording session. Everything around the bread follows the same approach as the studio itself: slow, crafted, and built on good ingredients.

Craft sourdough bread from our oven

Why sourdough

Sourdough works slowly and gives the bread flavour, structure and gentler digestion. Fermentation helps carbohydrates release more gradually, keeps you full for longer and makes minerals easier for the body to use. Its naturally acidic environment also helps the bread stay fresh without preservatives.

Why sourdough

Sourdough gives bread time. Long fermentation helps break down some components of grain, including more complex carbohydrates and proteins, so it is often gentler to digest than ordinary yeast bread.

Does sourdough bread help with weight loss?

Yes and no. :-) Sourdough bread does not cause weight loss on its own, but because you need less of it and it keeps you full for longer, it does help indirectly — both with your figure and with digestion.

How does that work?
  • Fuller for longer: steady blood sugar avoids the spikes, so you are not hungry again soon after a meal and you stop picking at food.
  • Smaller portions: the denser crumb and the greater satiety mean a smaller piece naturally satisfies you.
  • Lower energy intake: bread alone does not make you gain weight — what counts is the overall calorie balance. Because sourdough keeps you full for longer, your total daily intake tends to be lower.

Compared with ordinary yeast bread, sourdough is the nutritionally better and more sustainable choice when you are adjusting your diet.

Minerals the body can use

Fermentation helps reduce phytic acid, which can limit mineral absorption. The body can then make better use of minerals such as iron, zinc and magnesium.

Why it lasts longer

The naturally acidic environment created by fermentation slows drying and spoilage, so the bread lasts longer without preservatives.

What you will and will not find in it

We use basic ingredients only: quality flour from Czech mills, our tested mix of flour types, water, starter, Himalayan salt and organic caraway. No additives, no improvers, no unnecessary ingredients.

Is bread part of every studio stay?

Yes. And we also bake pizza here.
