Kruste & Krume opened in 2018 in the Freihaus quarter as the first studio in Vienna devoted entirely to bread: sourdough, hand-made rolls, baguette, Kipferl, Viennese bread culture to make yourself. Barbara Melle and her team bake with groups at long wooden tables, 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.
