Most 'sourdough' on offer around the city leans heavily on commercial yeast for speed. The new bakery that opened on Ashok Marg this week is doing it the slow way — a 24-hour ferment, wild starter, and a wood-fired oven shipped in from Jaipur.
Loaves sell out most days by early afternoon, so the owners are floating a pre-order system — details expected on their Instagram in the coming weeks.
