Grazia’s baking

19/09/2026

There’s something quietly celebratory about a Sunday loaf — the rhythm of flour, water, salt, starter and time. This multigrain sourdough (50% half-white bread flour; rye, semolina, wholemeal, spelt and corn making up the rest; 75% hydration) gives you a moist, speckled crumb and a golden, crackly crust. It’s perfect with butter and honey, a bowl of soup, or simply a warm slice while it’s still faintly steaming.

I wrote the full formula and a gentle Sunday schedule so you can make this your ritual: mix, rest, a few folds, then a slow proof (fridge-proof for deeper flavour) and bake in a hot Dutch oven. Don’t rush the cool-down — that hour makes all the difference to the crumb.

Want to perfect these techniques in person? I’m running small sourdough workshops with limited seats — book early to save your place:
• Bake Backwards: a private sourdough workshop at home — Sep 6 (3 seats left)
• Sunday Dough: A Bake-Backwards Ritual — Oct 4 (3 seats left)
• Sunday Dough: A Bake-Backwards Ritual — Dec 6

Lahmacun. Pita. Naan.

The oldest food we have, and still the most generous: bread you tear apart with your hands and pass around the table.

On Thursday 10 September I’m teaching all three from scratch at Museum Mühlerama. We’ll work with pre-ferment — where the real flavour hides — and practise the shaping that gives each bread its character. Then we sit down together with Middle Eastern and Indian mezze and eat everything while it’s still warm.

Four hours. All levels welcome. Every ingredient provided.

🗓 Thursday 10 September, 18:00–22:00

Grannie and I are back in business—or should I say, partners in crime. 😏🤎

And of course, we had to begin with our all-time favourite: semolina sourdough bread.

That golden crust, the soft and fragrant crumb…and yes, I simply had to give it a little squeeze. How could I resist?

We’re officially back to baking—and this feels like the perfect comeback. ✨

Kinda chic to make sourdough your whole personality. 🤎

To keep an 18-year-old starter alive.
To plan your day around the dough.
To trust fermentation.
To turn flour, water and salt into something beautiful.
To make sourdough bread, pizza—and occasionally a beautiful mess.

But perhaps the chicest part is gathering people around a table and sharing what you’ve made. That’s what baking has always meant to me: slowing down, working with my hands and creating something that brings people together.

Which slide feels most like you? 🍞

Come bake with me at one of my sourdough workshops in Zürich. Workshop dates and registration via the link in my bio.

Finally, the rain has arrived, the temperature has dropped, and turning on the oven feels like a pleasure again. 🌧️🔥

It’s the perfect moment to slow down, get your hands into the dough, and unleash your Sunday baking ritual.

Join me for the Sunday Bread Ritual—a cosy, hands-on experience where we bake together, explore fermentation, and reconnect with the simple joy of making bread.

Come for the bread, stay for the ritual. 🤎

Limited places available—book your Sunday at the link in bio.

After four weeks in the refrigerator, it’s finally time to feed Grannie again! 🫧

Before the holidays, I gave her a different feed from her usual one to help her stay balanced during the long rest. Now comes the exciting part: feeding her and seeing how she reacts over the next three or four hours.

Let’s see if she’s ready to wake up! 🤍🍞

✨ Bread is coming home.

The Sunday Bake Ritual is more than a sourdough workshop: it is an intimate gathering in my home, created to bring the ritual of bread back into our kitchens and everyday lives.

We begin at the end — with the bake, the crust and the first warm slice — then work backwards through every step, all the way to understanding and caring for your sourdough starter.

A small group of only six guests, a table to gather around, and everything you need to begin your own bread ritual at home. 🤍

Upcoming Sundays:

🥖 6 September — 3 places left
🥖 4 October — 3 places left
🥖 6 December — booking open

Book your place through the link in bio or DM for more information

There’s something sacred about Sunday bread — the slow rhythm of sourdough, the braided beauty of challah, the crisp crackle of a fresh baguette. I love how a simple loaf can gather a family, carry a blessing and pass on a story.

At Grazia’s Baking we celebrate those rituals: the fermentation science behind a perfect crumb, the traditional recipes that travel generations, and the hands-on techniques that make breadmaking a shared craft. If you’ve ever wanted to turn your Sundays into a meaningful bake ritual, come join us.

We’re running small, immersive sourdough workshops with limited seats:
• Bake Backwards — private at-home sourdough workshop (6 Sep) — 3 seats left
