Everyone loves pastry, and when it comes to sourdough bread, it is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Different types of pastries available in Europe cannot be found easily in different places in India because of cultural differences. But this doesn't stop certain bakeries from being listed as heavenly and accurate.
From various pastries you can think of to master bakers who make it, there are different plus points to the SAPA Sourdough & Pastry, Mysuru, that compelled the jury to hand over them the 48th spot.
This amazing bakery is run by talented no other than German native Dina Weber, who initially discovered her love for sourdough bread, surprisingly baking them in India from her first “babysitting starter” in Goa, learning more about cafes and the bread.

The bakery serves up a fine collection of pastries and loaves in Mysore, which stands out in the whole of India in terms of authentic creations while serving culinary beauty that is accurate and delicious.

Around 1500 BC, the Egyptians were the first to make sourdough bread, discovered by chance when wild yeast spores were in the air mixed with dough that was left out.
Sourdough bread is made with flour, water, and salt, and the fermentation process gives it a stronger flavour profile and more nutrients than other bread. Additionally, the fermentation process breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making the nutrients in sourdough bread more bioavailable.
The process might be easy, but it is extremely difficult to indulge in baking, where the bread comes out perfectly. Dina Weber and her team of bakers ensure that the quality remains top-notch, with ingredients that are checked thoroughly. The pastries and the cakes available in the corner are also well deserving, and the menu is ever-changing and filled with innovation and creativity.
