Kruste & Krume opened in February 2018 as the first bread baking school of its kind in Austria, in Vienna’s old mill quarter, where the city’s mills stood in the 14th century. Sourdough, hand-made rolls, salt sticks, braided loaves, Viennese bread culture to make yourself. It was founded by Barbara van Melle and Simon Wöckl. Closed groups bake here too, with oven, flour dust and plenty of patience.
It is the workshop where everyone has their hands in the dough and nobody looks at their phone. After three to four and a half hours there is a snack with your own bread, a recipe to take home and the realisation that good bread needs time above all.
