Those who have nutritional health problems such as obesity began to be careful about every bite passing through their throat. Bread is the one of the most important bites to be careful about… Jüli Bakery, which is opened as a family business in Kozyatağı, stands out with its artisan breads.
Bread is one of the most basic foods that human beings have consumed for thousands of years. This simple food was made in every culture and in every period very different varieties. In the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution, as in many other areas, people have mostly chosen to take the easy way when it comes to bread.
Nutritional value of bread is important
For example, when it was milled from the most useful part of wheat, it was noticed that the flour was kept intact for longer and the bread made from white flour entered our lives. For many years, it was enough for the consumer that this low-nutritious bread was cheaper. However, people who have started to experience nutrition-based health problems such as obesity have become increasingly careful about every bite.
Today, such as whole-wheat bread, rye bread, have become more popular than white bread. There is also an upper class bread, which is defined as artisan bread. Although not fully defined, we can define it as the bread produced by traditional methods, without additives yet with special yeast sourdough bread. Of course, the nutritional values of these breads are also higher than white bread.
From finance to bakery
Jüli Bakery, a family-run establishment in Kozyatağı, is one of the places where the number of conscious consumer has been increasing. Jülide Yağcıoğlu, after her 25-year finance career, pursued natural bread. She started making her own bread 14 years ago. A few years ago she went to a course to make sour leavened breads. She started making bread at her house. One day his brother, eating the sourdough pita, said, "People should have the luxury to eat this at any time of the day!"
Jülide says that the production of sourdough artisan bread, which dates back to 5,000 years, requires long efforts, is made by cold fermentation method and is rich in useful bacteria for human health, especially for the immune system.
Desserts are also healthy
In Jüli Bakery, they use natural flour that is ground and milled in a stone mill or water mill. Instead of water in some bread varieties, they use their own kephir, diversify the breads with Edremit olives, walnuts, dry tomatoes, spinach, carrots.
Apart from the bread, there are sourdough pita and pizza in Jüli Bakery, some desserts with or without sugar and sandwiches prepared with sourdough breads. This café is also famous in the neighborhood with its breakfast is. The breakfasts they prepare with local products go very well with warm and healthy breads.
