BuurtBakkerijdeVos Micro Zuurdesembakkerij

BuurtBakkerijdeVos is a micro-bakery in Assendelft that bakes sourdough bread each week for people in Assendelft, Zaandam and Westzaan to order online and collect on Saturday.

The bread is made from flour, water and salt alone, raised on a mild sourdough culture the baker developed himself, and every loaf is shaped by hand and baked on a stone oven floor. The list runs from a classic bâtard, a large boule and plain and olive baguettes to buckwheat, German-style spelt, oat, potato, sesame, blue poppy seed and raisin loaves. Their website does not say which flour or mill they use. There are also pastries such as cardamom swirls, morning buns, pain au lait and pain aux raisins, though whether these are made without baker's yeast is not stated.

Orders go through the order list on their website and are collected at the Saturday Morning Pick-up in Assendelft between 10:00 and 11:30.
