My Chicken Buns, for instance, are a nod to the ones I grew up eating in boarding school, stuffed with a spicy filling that feels like a proper hug. Because I bake these in small, real-person batches, I often sell out, so checking for today's freshness on WhatsApp is a smart move before you order. My bakery is not about mass production, it is about getting the textures right. Take the Salt Seeded Sourdough. It takes a full three days to make, starting with a long cold-proof of 40 to 60 hours. With 90 percent hydration and a 40 percent wholewheat base, it has that tangy crumb and crackly crust that supermarket bread cannot replicate. I load it with a mix of pumpkin, melon, flax, and sesame seeds because flavor should not end at the crust. Then there are the buns. The Hot Garlic Buns are my eggless take on a crowd favorite, using a pillowy brioche dough filled with spicy garlic cream cheese. I brush them with chili butter to make sure they hit that spicy, savory note. If you are looking for comfort, the Pesto Cheese Braid is a safe bet. I make the pesto from scratch using Kashmiri walnuts and braid it into soft dough with generous amounts of Amul cheese. Everything here is made from scratch, which means you might find a bit of character in the shape or size. That is not a flaw, it is just proof that a human made it, not a machine. Whether you need a weekend loaf or a quick snack, shoot me a message to see what just came out of the oven. ## About Salt by Flavia I am Flavia, and I run Salt with my own two hands. I bake these savory treats because I believe that if you are going to carb-load, you should do it with something that actually tastes like home.
