Bakeries

You don’t have to go far early in the morning in the narrow streets of Copenhagen to experience the smell of freshly baked bread and rolls. There is a bakery on almost every corner. Recently, artisanal-style bakers have outgrown the typical chain bakeries, so now you can see young hipster bakers in beautiful open-spaces embracing heritage grains, adopting slow-fermenting, natural-starter dough and using traditional baking methods.

You’ll find breads such as sourdough, formbrød and rye bread, of course, but then there are the rolls, including rundstykker, håndværker, gifler and hvedestykker – everyone has their favourite. Using traditional flavours such as cinnamon, cardamom and poppy seeds, these artisanal bakers are making sweet pastries as delicious as they are flaky.
