Launched in 2103 following the hugely successful Balthazar New York and headed up by master baker Jonathan Rolfe, founder of the Flour Station, Balthazar London bakes top quality artisan bread and pastries.

Jon is another man with a deep passion for baking and dough. A lover of natural sourdough starters, he also has a particular skill and liking for using commercial yeasts to create a slow ferment - what in English we call a ‘sponge’ and Italians call a ‘biga’. This 18, or so, hour process brings out the unusual flavours in the flours, capturing some of the natural yeasts in the air to make a much more interesting loaf. His wonderful London Bloomer being a prime example of that - one of our favourite weekend breakfasts.
