Mekx Brood

Mekx Brood is a bakery on the Van der Molenallee in Doorwerth, with a second shop in Bennekom, which bakes the bread for both shops in Doorwerth and offers sourdough alongside its baguettes and everyday loaves.

The bakers keep two starters that they feed every day: a spelt starter for a 100% wholemeal spelt sourdough, and a wheat starter, made from mill-ground wheat, for the other sourdough loaves. The dough then rises for 18 to 24 hours in proving rooms. Their speciality is Bennekoms Bierbrood, a sourdough made with rye from Bennekom that is first cooked in dark Bennekom beer. The rest of the range is ordinary bread and rolls, biscuits, cake and pastries, plus regional products.

The Doorwerth shop is open Tuesday to Friday from 8:00 to 17:00 and Saturday from 8:00 to 16:00, and the Bennekom shop is on the Dorpsstraat there. Bread can also be ordered through their webshop.

The wheat starter also goes into the bakery's croissants and baguettes, so these are made with sourdough as well.
