About The Baker's Craft: Behind the Scenes
You might see us obsessing over our croissants, but there is a reason for it. We layer our dough exactly 27 times using high-fat French butter. It is a precise process; if our kitchen temperature spikes by even a degree, the butter melts and those distinct layers vanish. That is why we monitor our environment so strictly—we would rather start over than serve you a croissant that isn't perfectly flaky.
Baking isn't just a recipe to us; it is a discipline. When you see our Sourdough, you are looking at a 48-hour fermentation cycle. We give the wild yeast time to do its work, resulting in that distinct leopard-spotted crust and airy interior that defines real sourdough. We don't use shortcuts, and we don't rush the process.
The Art of the Pastry
Whether it's tempering Belgian chocolate on our marble slabs or crafting the perfect mirror glaze for a festive cake, precision is our baseline. Our chefs—who we fondly call 'The Artists'—treat every entremet and Opera pastry as a canvas. We import our chocolate and use real French butter because the ingredients dictate the final result. If you visit us in Koramangala, you can often see the flour dusting and the chocolate piping happening live.
Join the Process
We believe the best way to understand food is to get your hands messy. That is why we host workshops where you can step behind the counter. From mastering pasta dough to shaping your own sourdough pizza, we show you the exact techniques we use every day. It is not about perfect execution; it is about learning the rhythm of the dough and the patience required for great food. Come by, watch us work, or better yet, join in and create something delicious with us.
Krust Café
At Krust, we don't just have staff; we have Artists. We are a team obsessed with the science of sourdough and the art of the perfect glaze, all based right here in Koramangala. We love teaching you the ropes in our workshops just as much as we love baking your celebration cakes.
