Paphos Life

I was wondering if any of you have seen any sourdough bread?

I've heard that Alpha Mega sell it, and I will give that a try, although bread from supermarkets can be a bit, well, bland . If anybody had seen any elsewhere, I'd be grateful to hear of it. Have freezer, will travel

Not seen what i call proper sourdough. I am going to attempt to make some soon though and I am in your area so if it works out will drop a loaf to you!

If you ask in the shops for "prozymi"( Greek word for it) you will find it. Perhaps Butcher Boy! or next door

I'm sure I have seen it at Alpha Mega.

What a kind offer! I'm not over for another couple of weeks though, so please do not wait for me to tip up. If you get a knack for it, I will certainly ask for the recipe if that is ok.

Thank you Max, that is very helpful. I will add that word to my list of useful things, and try it when I'm there soon. Hopefully my pronunciation will be understandable - "Pro-ZEE-me" do you think??

Yes Bograt, like that.
By the way I forgot the small new bakery I recommended before last January. They do every day gluten free and pro zee me

Thank you again Max, I remember now you posted about that bakers. I will try there for Pro zee me for Roz see.

Hi Bograt,
I have PM'd you with a place to try. I know that it is made fresh there.

Thank you - message received.

I wonder why it needs to be a secret though

Because it is only made in small batches....

Just a thought here, but have any small specialized Polish Delis sprang up in Paphos, to cater for the tastes of the Polish expat working community there?

If so, you're certain to find fresh-baked white and brown Polish sourdough bread in there. Not to mention beautiful ham, gammon, and bacon (that isn't pumped full of water), gorgeous bread rolls and cakes, etc...

All at really great value prices, too

Good thinking Al, if I see any I'll check it out.

The small artisan bakery is called Artognosia and is in the side road by New York Sweets. They most certainly make sour dough bread (bread with prozymi) but don't have it all the time. They will happily make it for you however if you ask.

I should also perhaps mention that they make Spelt (Dinkelbrot) bread too.

Thank you. I've found it on Google maps and will give it a try, probably visiting New York Sweets for the first time as well (oink snort).

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, very helpful as always.

That's inspired me to dust off my dutch oven

Which of the 139000 are you refering to?
