You are seeing the actual result of 24-hour slow fermentation and small-batch production that happens right here in Vashi. Since I do not work with factory-made mixes or pre-mixes, I rely on a tight production schedule to ensure every Basque cheesecake and hamper box leaves my kitchen at peak freshness. If you are planning an event or gifting, I suggest reaching out early so I can fit your order into my baking slot. ### From Home Kitchen to Vashi Cafe What started as a hobby of baking breads for pre-orders has turned into the cafe you see today. My journey wasn't just about moving to a bigger space; it was about refining the craft. When I share photos of my kitchen, I am not just showing off equipment; I am showing you the environment where I test new recipes like Gulab Jamun cheesecakes and Goan Poee sandwiches. ### The Process Matters I believe that baking is a science. Whether it is our signature eggless Basque cheesecake or the sourdough loaves that require days of care, nothing is rushed. * **Slow Fermentation:** All our artisanal breads are slow-fermented. This is not just a buzzword; it is the reason for the texture and digestibility that my regulars in Navi Mumbai have come to expect. * **Ingredients First:** I use real couverture chocolate and high-quality butter. You will never find margarine in my kitchen. When you taste the difference in a bonbon or a cookie, that is why. * **Eggless Expertise:** Creating eggless desserts that do not compromise on the velvety mouthfeel is my biggest challenge and my proudest achievement. ### Custom Bakes for Your Moments Most of the hampers and bento cakes you see here are custom-built. My philosophy is that gifting should feel personal. Whether it is a corporate order or a birthday surprise, I work with you to pick the contents that fit the occasion. If you see something you like in the gallery, message me, and we can tweak the flavours or packaging to suit exactly what you need. ## About Moi Doughssier Hi, I am Nafisa. I started Moi Doughssier with a simple idea: bake things that have a bit of soul, using French techniques with a distinct desi twist. Now, I spend my days in my Vashi kitchen obsessing over everything from the perfect sourdough crumb to the creamiest eggless cheesecake.
