When the days get shorter and the temperature falls we crave those full and flavourful sourdough breads that our grandmothers used to bake… A blissful bite into a soft but firm piece of warm, delicious and ever so comforting bread. The aroma would travel through the entire house and fill not only the nostrils but also the heart with happiness. And that is exactly how these sandwiches make us feel: a memory of our childhood recreated with a modern twist. Let’s dive right into them 😀

  • Full fat curd: we got ours directly from the farmer, you can try Rechstreeksproducten.nl
  • Mascarpone: we got ours at Ekoplaza
  • Parsley: ours is homegrown, beautiful on the window sill and freshly harvested, we can recommend it 😉

  • Sweet paprika powder: we used the one from Pit&Pit
