Artisan bakery · Basel · est. 2011
While Basel sleeps, our dough is rising.
Miga is a small sourdough bakery on Gerbergasse. Every day follows the same eight hours — scroll, and walk them with us from the first knead to the last loaf.

The baker's morning
Eight hours before you're hungry.
Every loaf follows the same clock. Keep scrolling and the night will turn into morning around you — exactly the way it does in our bakehouse.
Kneading
The first light on in the street is ours. Flour, water, salt and a nine-year-old sourdough starter, folded by hand until the dough starts pushing back.
Proofing
Then — nothing. The loaves rest in linen-lined baskets and do the real work on their own. Good bread is mostly patience, and we've learned not to interrupt it.
Baking
The stone oven reaches 260 degrees and the first batch goes in. If you've ever wondered why Gerbergasse smells the way it does at seven, this is the moment.
The counter
Shutters up, coffee on, trays still warm. Everything on the shelf was dough three hours ago — and when the last loaf goes, we close the till.
The counter · from 09:00
