Since 2017
When I got a new job as pastry chef in restaurant BROEI, baking bread was part of the curriculum. My background is pastry but I always wanted to know the secrets to bread baking. Making bread always came on to me as something magical.. since I started I’m ever so more excited about the product, and I very much enjoy my stroll on this endless path of learning.
