A workbench, an oven, a place in your day

Bakkerij Korrel is an artisan bakery with a shop counter in Haarlem. We built it around a simple idea: bread should be something you look forward to cutting. A warm bag on the way home, crumbs on the kitchen table, one more slice with butter.Our team works close to the counter. The dough we shape becomes the loaves on the shelf. The pastry we fold becomes the croissant you take home. That short journey keeps us involved in every batch.

The work behind the loaf

We learn a dough by working with it

A recipe gives us a starting point. The dough tells us what comes next. We feel its strength as we fold, watch how it rises and give it an overnight rest. We shape by hand and bake for a deep crust.Our days follow the dough and the oven. Small batches of butter pastries join the bread through the morning. At the counter, we can tell you what has just cooled and what is still to come.

A little more to share

For the days that need a whole cake

We also make tarts and layered cakes to order. A crisp shell, a soft sponge or a fruit filling asks for a different touch from bread. We keep the finish simple enough to let the flavour lead.Our flour suppliers help us find flour suited to each bake. We check a new batch in the dough before settling into its rhythm. Ask us about the flour we are using; we can check the current batch rather than guess at its origin.For a celebration, choose from our cakes to order. We agree the size, finish and collection time with you before we start.

Come closer to the craftWe run small baking workshops and bread tastings on agreed dates. You can practise shaping, work through sourdough basics or taste how different grains change a loaf. See workshop and service prices, then ask our team about a date. We confirm the session and its price through the contact form.
