Taking a break…but not from baking!

30 Comments WKB projects

Focus on home and the people we love. No more answers to baking questions for a while!

Dear Weekend Bakery Friends,

The coming months we will take a break from posting recipes and answering comments on our Weekend Bakery site.

Due to recent events our priorities have shifted and we need to focus on what matters most and give attention to our family and people who need us.

Of course we will keep baking for ourselves and other people close to us. We hope you all will do the same!
Our recipes, tips and comments will stay available to everybody.

We hope to continue with new energy and enthusiasm somewhere in 2021.

For now enjoy your baking and stay happy and healthy!

Marieke & Ed

    Dank voor jullie inspanningen op jullie voortreffelijke site! Dank zij jullie is het nu min of meer traditie bij ons dat we iedere Zondag morgen een vers gebakken croissant voor ontbijt hebben.
    Sterkte toegewenst in de komende tijd.

    Many thanks for all the help over the years. My baking skills have really improved since finding your site. And as for making sourdough, it never work until I read your guides.

    Thank you both for the love and attention you put into our baking, as well as your own. By sharing your knowledge and experience, you have enriched the lives (and the dough, haha!) of the many bakers in this Weekend Bakery family. May you continue to enjoy your own baking and life’s simple pleasures.

    Marieke en Ed, veel goeie moed in deze donkere periode. Ik hoop dat er snel licht komt. We blijven bakken en hopen jullie snel weer aan boord te hebben (ik spreek precies in majestatische we, maar ik denk dat alle fans van deze website wel hetzelfde wensen).

    Tot gauw,

    All the best to you as you pause and recharge. I really enjoy your site and have learned so much here – thank-you! As an ex-pat Californian living in Germany, all the tips/discussion around different types of flour have been especially helpful – I even have some printed out and hanging in our pantry! Wishing you rest and restoration, good health, and of course a peaceful holiday season.

    Even if you never return you have left a bread baking education that is around as long as this thing we call the internet.

    Thank you for you devotion to enhancing the bread baking skills of others.
