Berlin's Best Bagel Baker. (English episode) Many years ago, I
discovered a small book shop in my Berlin neighborhood,
specializing in English literature. It was a quiet, dark space with
wooden floors and vintage furniture, and a little counter filled
with the loveliest loaf cakes. I came back almost every week,
mainly for the sweets, and soon found out that the shop was run by
an American/ Czech couple: Laurel from Boston, responsible for
baking, and her husband Roman Kratochvila from Prague, taking care
of the books. They left my neighborhood too soon, creating a void
that could never be filled, but they re-opened a much brighter and
bigger spot just as charming. This became the famous Shakespeare
and Sons / Fine Bagels on Berlin's lively Warschauer Strasse,
praised and loved for Jewish baking classics - and good books.
Laurel's bagels, babka/ challah knots, and rugelach are known
across town and get me to hop on my bicycle regularly to enjoy her
sweet and savory treasures. I'm intrigued by Laurel's passion and
dedication, and her irresistible smile that wipes away all sorrows.
She started as a home baker and then deepened her knowledge and
education in French bakeries, but she still has this relaxed aura
of 'a friend who's just baking in her kitchen.' Laurel treats her
dough like a baby, she knows it well, watches and works it
precisely, until it unfolds its true beauty. For this podcast
episode, Laurel shared her recipe for Brick Lane bagels with me
(named after London's famous Brick Lane Beigel bakery). She calls
it a mix of a New York and a Montreal bagel. Quick to prepare, a
little chewy, and perfect for a luscious sandwich filled with salt
beef, mustard, and gherkins, you can now satisfy your bagel
cravings in your own kitchen any time. You can find all the blog
