Your body can seriously benefit from the bread you make.
There are lot’s of good reasons to make your own. Maybe you’ve already discovered them. So if you are serious about good bread making, Weekend Bakery is the place for you. Get your hands stuck in a piece of dough and smell the aroma of your own sourdough starter.
Our Artisan At Home Bakery
We are passionate home bakers. We have been sharing our quest for good food and especially good bread for over 20 years. We love sharing our homemade bread and recipes with friends and family and everybody who’s truly interested. We are especially enthusiastic about the ‘artisan’ way of baking. Traditional methods, few ingredients, lots of taste. It’s amazing and rewarding to discover you can make a wonderful bread with just flour, water and salt and a bit of homemade sourdough.

We are proud to offer a range of bread baking tools that are perfect for the home baker and small bakeries. All bread baking tools are made within the European Union and of high quality. And there’s some very original sweet baking stuff too. Come and take a look and get inspired to bake!
Things we love to bake and make
There are some bakes that we have really ‘made our own’ over the years. Next to our ‘Pain Rustique’, ‘Pain Naturel’, WKB Sourdough and ‘Pain au Levain’ that has an enthusiastic following, we sort of have perfected the art of croissant making and baguette baking. We also love to make traditional Dutch specialties like ‘appeltaart’ (Dutch apple pie) and ‘suikerbrood’ (sugar loaf), speculaas, cinnamon buns and roggebrood (rye bread). We love making our own pizza, pita and flatbreads. More recently we are inspired by trending sourdough recipes like the sourdough croissant loaf and other variations. We also make our own marmalade from the Sevilla oranges when in season, quince jelly from the quinces in our garden and lots of lovely fruit tarts and cobblers with our own pears, plums and berries. We love to experiment with chocolate and caramel too.
Besides the baking
We love to travel when possible. Our favorite destinations are Italy, France, Norway and Canada. Favorite cities: New York, Venice, Maastricht, The Hague, Bologna, island life…
Also fond of (outdoor) cooking, the Italian kitchen, Indian and Japanese food, brewing the best coffee, our garden, trees and flowers and much more…
Happy baking from Weekend Bakery!
