Our starter \u2014 a live culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria \u2014 works slowly, transforming starches and gluten into something fundamentally different from industrial bread.<\/p>\n  <p>The result is bread with:<\/p>\n  <ul>\n    <li>A crisp crust, naturally caramelised in the oven<\/li>\n    <li>An open, elastic crumb with visible air pockets<\/li>\n    <li>A complex, slightly tangy flavour with real depth<\/li>\n    <li>Better digestibility than conventional bread, thanks to the fermentation process<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p>We don't add improvers, industrial yeast, or artificial flavourings. We add time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- WHY IT MATTERS -->\n<div class=\"sd-section\">\n  <div class=\"sd-section-title\">Why The Process Matters<\/div>\n  <h2>Time Does The Work<\/h2>\n  <p>Slow fermentation isn't a technical detail \u2014 it's the reason our bread tastes different from most bakeries in Bucharest. The active starter breaks down phytates in the flour, makes gluten easier to digest, and develops a complex flavour profile that simply cannot be achieved by shortening the process.<\/p>\n  <p>Industrial bread is made in 2-3 hours. Ours is made in 48. You can taste the difference from the first bite \u2014 in the crust, in the crumb, in the flavour.<\/p>\n  <p>Real sourdough doesn't need improvers, because time does the work improvers would do. It doesn't need industrial yeast, because the live starter culture <em>is<\/em> the yeast. It doesn't need preservatives, because the natural acidity from fermentation preserves it naturally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- DAILY RANGE -->\n<div class=\"sd-section\">\n  <div class=\"sd-section-title\">Baked Daily<\/div>\n  <h2>What You'll Find Every Day<\/h2>\n  <p>We bake every single day.
