Here's your guide to doughy dreams
Known for its distinctive tangy flavour, rustic crust, and chewy crumb, sourdough bread is a beloved staple for its unique taste, health benefits, and deep-rooted tradition.
Dip ’em into a bowl of soothing roasted tomato soup, garnish it with smashed avocado and scrambled eggs, or smother it with peanut butter. Whichever way you like your toast, nothing quite beats a slice of freshly baked sourdough bread—and it’s good for your gut too!
Whether you prefer to dine-in at a café with a cup of coffee or buy a loaf back to enjoy at your own ease, we’ve compiled a list of bakeries and restaurants in the Klang Valley that serve some of the best sourdoughs in town.
