Our Signature Sourdough Bread
Rye Sourdough Bread from Art Bakery, Marbella
At Art Bakery & Gourmet, Marbella, we believe that great bread is the heart of every meal. Our philosophy is simple: pure ingredients, traditional methods, and a dedication to quality. One of our signature offerings is our Rye Sourdough Bread, crafted with care and passion, using just four basic ingredients—rye sourdough, malted rye grains, salt, and water.
The Secret to Perfect Malted Rye
To achieve the perfect balance in flavor and texture, we rely on a key partner: Weyermann Brewery in Austria. This renowned brewery supplies us with the finest malted rye grains, essential for giving our bread its unique, slightly nutty flavor. Each batch of malt is carefully selected to ensure it meets the high standards that define our bread.
A Sourdough Tradition Rooted in Andalusia
Our sourdough starter is truly special. Each autumn, we harvest grapes from Andalusia and let them naturally ferment, creating a rich culture of bifidobacteria. This ancient method gives our bread a distinct, complex taste. And here’s the magic: we’ve kept this sourdough culture alive since the very first day our bakery opened. Every day, it’s fed with organic flour, ensuring it stays vibrant and full of life.
The Artisan Process: From Fermentation to Baking
To create our Rye Sourdough Bread, we combine our sourdough starter with fresh rye flour, water, malt, and salt, allowing it to ferment for several hours. This process occurs in special molds made from grapevine stems, a nod to our Andalusian roots. The bread is then baked with steam on a scorching hot stone in our artisan oven, achieving the perfect crispy crust and tender interior.
Enjoy the Bread That Makes Breakfast Special
Our freshly baked rye sourdough bread is available every morning at our bakery, but you can also enjoy it as part of our gourmet breakfast dishes. Some of our favorites include:
