Brot & Stulle Tiger Rolls from the Lütten Backstuv
Baker Svea Andersson shares two of her secret bread recipes with BOT & STULLE: potato bread and pepper-crusted tiger rolls. The buns are made into Nørdic Tapas and are topped with Angus ham, among other things. The potato bread is finished with fresh goat cheese and oil from an oil mill.
The passionate baker manages her bakery in Bünsdorf (Schleswig-Holstein) all by herself and therefore keeps to a bread baking schedule. So everyone knows when they can buy their favourite breads, but hurry, because the crisp-fresh baked goods are popular and quickly sold out. If you visit 62-year-old Svea in her bakery, you will be amazed, because the woman from Bünsdorf bakes on only six by 2.5 square metres. That's how the lütte backstuv got its name. "Actually, this used to be a beekeeper's cart," says the Hamburg native, who converted the cart into a bakery together with a few helpers from the surrounding area.
But Svea wasn't always a baker. At 55, the renowned cinematographer and documentary filmmaker hangs up her old job, starts an apprenticeship as a baker, shares the school desk with other teenage aspirants for one and a half years and lives on a small apprentice's salary.
The trigger for her passion? A trip to Afghanistan. While working as a camerawoman there, she filmed a traditional baker baking flatbread in a clay oven. "I will never forget that picture, it was fascinating!" However, she would never have thought at the time that she would eventually bake and sell bread herself, but life is full of surprises. Since September 2020, the ambitious baker has been baking for the people of Bünsdorf, Rendsburg and the surrounding area and everyone who finds their way to the lütten backstuv at Wittensee.
The documentary series BROT & STULLE embarks on a culinary journey through North German bakeries, into the world of the baker's craft, around the cultural asset of bread. Each episode portrays bread makers who have one thing in common: they prove that bread is not fast assembly line work or has to contain artificial additives, but can be made naturally with a lot of time and passion. The bakers create crispy masterpieces in their bakeries, reveal their favourite recipes and create a meal around bread to try out.
