Mother Dough Bakery is a bakery at 3 Jalan Kledek in Kampong Glam, Singapore. It holds a 4.5 Google rating from 667 reviews. The website says it began in 2017 as a one-woman pop-up and has grown into a small team, with breads and pastries made from scratch and baked fresh each morning, and it takes pre-orders for set dates through a contact form. Customers often mention the almond croissant, sourdough and cinnamon brioche bun, praise the pistachio raspberry tart, and note there is upstairs seating.
A good bakery works to the clock: the best bread and pastries come out in the morning, and popular items often sell out by the afternoon. Sourdough takes long fermentation and a hot bake for its chewy crust, and laminated pastries such as croissants are best eaten soon after baking, while the layers are still crisp. If you want a particular tart or loaf, arriving early or pre-ordering is the safest option, and asking what has just come out of the oven is a good way to choose.
For visitors to Kampong Glam and locals nearby, this Jalan Kledek bakery is a good stop for fresh bread, pastries and a coffee break.
