There is a unique concept in Sweden known as a “sourdough hotel.” This service allows bread enthusiasts to leave their sourdough starters in the care of professional bakers while they are away on vacation. The bakers regularly feed and maintain the starters, ensuring they stay alive and healthy until their owners return.
One well-known sourdough hotel operates at “Bageriet Urban Deli” in Stockholm. This idea caters to the growing interest in artisanal bread-making, as sourdough starters require consistent feeding and attention. Without proper care, the natural yeast and bacteria in the starter can die, which is why some passionate bakers seek professional help when they travel.
This concept is part of a broader trend of preserving traditional baking methods while adapting them to modern lifestyles.
