Bringing bread back
Zeit für Brot, London’ s first 100-percent organic German bakery opens in Islington to trade and walk-in customers
Zeit für Brot- which translates as‘ Time for Bread’- is an all-organic neighborhood bakery founded in Frankfurt in 2009, which actually produces all products on site.
The bakery has been baking right at Oeder Weg in Frankfurt since then and expanded across Germany and now to the UK. From the very beginning, Zeit für Brot has been focused on traditional artisan craftsmanship and sustainability, using only the finest, 100 percent organic ingredients. Today, Zeit für Brot operates 18 locations globally, which includes a newly opened production and retail site in the historic Angel Building in Islington in central London.
While venturing into a new market, the business maintains a very traditional approach to further its dedication to producing high-quality and all organic bakery products, and stay true to its roots.
Its bakeries embrace the essence of traditional( German) bakery craft. Every single product is handmade on site. Through large glass-fronted baking areas, visitors can watch the entire journey of a loaf, from the opening of the sack of flour to its finish in the oven. It is not uncommon to see children, glued to the glass, watching bakers at work.
Indeed, employees welcome the engagement, and are always happy to chat regarding the sourdough process, fostering a genuine connection between the bakery and the community.
