Crafty Baker is an artisan bakery at 2/490 South Titirangi Road in Titirangi Village, Auckland. It makes sourdough, pies, pastries and other handmade baked goods, and it also serves coffee and is a place where artists share their work. The business began as a sourdough bakery in West Auckland and moved to Titirangi.
Its sourdough is made from a starter that is more than ten years old. The starter ferments for about 18 hours before the dough is mixed, the dough then bulk-ferments for about five hours, and the shaped loaves are left to ferment slowly in the fridge for around 18 hours. The bakery says it does not take shortcuts. Customers can order online for collection or delivery.
