Bakkerij Mater

Bakkerij Mater is a family-run sourdough bakery (zuurdesem bakkerij) on the Ceintuurbaan in Amsterdam that aims to work as regeneratively as it can.

The bakers buy from several farmers they see every week. One of them is a dairy farmer who also grows grain and supplies stone-ground Dutch wheat flour from his own mill, and the bakery helps him keep the supply chain short and protect his unploughed land. Whether every loaf is made without added baker's yeast is not yet confirmed.

The shop at Ceintuurbaan 320 is open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:00 to 16:00 and on Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, and there is a shared table to sit at. A bread cart also takes the bread out onto the streets of the city.

The bakery and the organic shop de Aanzet trade with each other: de Aanzet sells Mater's bread every day, and the bakery buys all its seeds, nuts and other dry goods there.
