The Bavarian word for snack, ‘brotzeit’ – literally ‘bread time’ – speaks volumes about the value of bread in Germany and its position at the foreground of their food culture. It’s time to learn what we’ve been missing out on. It’s bread time, so expand your appreciation of this underrated staple food at Bütterken Bakery, where bread enters the spotlight.
Anita and Hendrik, who have been introducing locals to an extensive range of German bread products since opening Bütterken Bakery at Mount Eliza last November, have found their customer base rapidly growing. Those who came first for the pretzels have since begun exploring other artisan-quality products: schwarzbrot, a German black bread; dark rye; and German-style cakes, including bee stings. Increasing in popularity is the dinnele, a delicious pizza-like dish with toppings including sour cream, potato, gruyère and bacon. This ‘lecker’ (yummy) treat is generally served from 11am onwards. Every product at Bütterken Bakery is made on site using natural ingredients and, wherever possible, local organic produce.
A light-filled, undercover dining space at the back of the bakery provides the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and a meal or cake. Seated at tables, customers can see the baking process themselves through viewing windows. Not only entertaining to watch, the glass bakery serves as an example of one of Bütterken Bakery’s key values: transparency.
The authenticity of the bakery owners themselves is translated into the service and products they provide. Anita and Hendrik genuinely care about quality and health, creating artisan-quality, superior flavoured bread that is good for you, with options for all tastes and dietary preferences. They are also conscientious about sustainability, using local seasonal produce and sustainable business practices.
With delicious German bread products folded into a business you can be proud to support, Bütterken Bakery is set to rise.
Hours: Tuesday-Friday 8am-4pm; Saturday-Sunday 8am-2pm
