All the tools you need to be a pro home baker

However, these are strange times and the launch of the café didn’t go as expected. Seventy-two hours after the café opened in Mumbai the lockdown was called. “That it was tough for the business, is an understatement,” Rahul tells us. While the local bakeries and cafes were closed and people shut off inside their homes, many took to baking – from banana bread to sourdough, flour and sugar became an escape. And to Daniel it makes complete sense. “The raw materials are so basic but the results are so rewarding. For sourdough all you need is flour, water, salt, and you transform them through time and skill into something delicious. It’s like magic. At a time like this people are looking for the real joy that only baking or cooking and sharing a meal with family can provide,” says Daniel.
