The Bakers' Dozen launches India's first 'Sourdough' cafe

Artisan Indian bakery brand The Baker’s Dozen is launching India’s first ‘The House of Sourdough’ in Bengaluru.

Exclusively conceptualized by Aditi Handa, the place will showcase the largest range of scrumptious sourdough loaves in the country, this concept will double as a sourdough knowledge library, flagship store and baking experience by The Baker’s Dozen (TBD) to serve the residents of Bengaluru.

“We have been planning ‘The House of Sourdough’ for quite a long time and while being well aware of Bengaluru’s taste palette and its zest for lip-smacking yet functional food, this seemed to be the perfect place to begin with,” shared Handa.

Living by the philosophy that bread is their God, each baker at TBD celebrates the subtle fermentation of dough that creates magic. Consistently boosting the popularity of the humble Indian sourdough, Aditi Handa and Sneh Jain, with their brand The Baker’s Dozen, have created a permanent place in customer’s heart for their artisan bakes, and especially for their versatile, preservative free and uniquely local sourdough loaves.

Located in ‘Koramangala’ one of the most favourite spots in the city, the place is designed to serve as a platform for an unique initiative, 'Friends of TBD' - which will celebrate the city’s love for startups by showcasing their products at the store.

“The launch of ‘The House of Sourdough’ in Bengaluru is extremely special to our hearts, especially since the ethos of our brand perfectly marries the ethos of the city. We

seek to introduce a location for Bangaloreans where they can enjoy a treat while having a warm conversation as well as a place to learn about artisan products and be inspired to start their own journey like Aditi and I did in 2013,” added Jain.

The House of Sourdough will have an interactive wall where visitors can get a wonderful sensory experience of selecting hand-picked ingredients, observing mixing and shaping of the dough, the process of baking and finally tasting the delicious loaves with various accompaniments.
