Trained in Copenhagen. Came home with a starter.

Loaf & Letter is run by a baker who trained in Copenhagen, came home in 2019 with a sourdough starter she'd kept for nine years, and opened a counter in Joo Chiat to put it to work.

We bake what we can bake well in a day. We do not extend hours by buying in. When we sell out, we close. Some Saturdays that's 1pm.

Our bread is naturally leavened, no commercial yeast, fermented eighteen to twenty-four hours.

Our starter is named "Nelly", after the baker's grandmother. Nelly has been alive and fed since 2010. She lived in three flats in Copenhagen, one in Singapore, and is now permanently resident at Joo Chiat. She makes good bread.
