Jordy's Bakery

Jordy's Bakery is a sourdough bakery in Rotterdam, baking since 2009, whose shop at Delistraat 40 on the Kop van Zuid is one of three in the city, with two more announced. The baking is done at Benjamin Franklinstraat 503.

Every loaf is raised on the bakery's own sourdough starter and the dough is given 48 hours before it is baked; according to their website the bread is made from natural ingredients without unnecessary additives. Alongside the sourdough they bake viennoiserie, cakes, snacks and seasonal products, some only from Friday to Sunday. Whether any baker's yeast is added, or which mill supplies the flour, we couldn't confirm.

Bread can be bought in the shop or ordered online for collection at a shop of your choice; there is no delivery. Their website gives no opening hours for the Delistraat shop.

The starter is one culture, given to the founder by a teacher at the French Culinary Institute in New York and fed every day since, so every loaf in every shop descends from it.
