Every dough here undergoes a 24 to 48-hour slow fermentation process, not just for that signature tang, but to ensure every slice is light on your gut. It is messy, it involves a lot of patience, and yes, there is always plenty of flour on my apron. When I started baking from home, I didn't want machines or commercial improvers touching my dough. I wanted to reclaim what bread actually tastes like. That philosophy followed me from my home kitchen to our cafe in Vashi. ### The Science of Slow People often ask why our sourdough takes so long to make. It isn't just a trend; it is biology. By using a natural wild yeast starter and a long cold-proofing period, we break down the gluten structure naturally. This is what gives my loaves that rustic, hard crust and the airy, holey interior that is so much easier to digest than the commercial alternatives found in supermarkets. ### From Flour to Finish Every bun, from our viral Korean Cream Cheese Buns to our classic country sourdough, is shaped by hand. You will see in the videos that there is no machinery involved in the shaping process. It is just me, a lot of hydration in the dough, and the technique I learned during my pastry training. This ensures that every piece has a unique character—no two loaves are identical. ### French Technique, Desi Heart My goal is to create products that bridge worlds. I use high-fat premium butter for that classic French lamination, but I am equally proud of incorporating Indian grains like ragi in our gluten-free range. Whether it is our eggless bomboloni or the hearty multigrain loaves, my priority is always 'clean label' baking. That means simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, and patience. Nothing weird, no preservatives, just real food for the Navi Mumbai community. ## About Moi Doughssier Hi, I'm Nafisa. I started Moi Doughssier in my home kitchen because I wanted bread that tasted real, not mass-produced. Now, my Vashi cafe is where I get to experiment with those French techniques and the desi flavors that I love so much.
